We in April 2018. Our first date was at Lucianas, a cute Mexican restaurant chain in Indianapolis, IN. We sat for ~hours~ and just talked. We didn't even eat our food. As soon as I left, I called my best friend Ellen and I was like "my face literally hurts from smiling. I loved that." Fast forward to SEPTEMBER 2018 and we went on our first trip to Spain together. I think that trip was really when we knew this was it. We moved in together, went on more trips, met families, cried together, made big purchases together, and so on. We always say that we are the exact inverse of each other. Ethan is the quiet, introverted, hilarious, Enneagram 5... and Amber is the loud af, extroverted, anxious, Enneagram 2. We fit together so well because the places I am weak, he is strong, the places that he struggles, I excel. If you don't know the story of our engagement, it's pretty great. So, we are moving to, CA...right? Well Ethan told me once we decided we wanted to do that that he wanted to be engaged before we moved. Great. We knew we were moving August 2022, so we had some time. Well, Covid let up a tiny bit and we saw the gap and made the most of it. We went to visit my sister Matxalen and her girlfriend Jone in Spain. On our way there, Ethan brought his backpack as his carry on (as he does every time he travels) and I had my 3,500 bags that I packed 😂 So we get to Spain and it was amazing, we are still amazed at the beauty that is Bermeo, Spain. Over the first couple of days, Matxalen and Jone planned beautiful sight seeing excursions and introduced us to incredible food and drinks. WELL... the very first place we went in Bermeo was the port. It was breathtaking and we expressed joy and feelings about the spot. One night, we were going to the Bilbao soccer game. (This whole situation is a story for another time, so ask me about it 😂) And after that we were going to a street festival for the holiday that weekend. Y'all know Amber was making friends with everyone and drinking the wine and dancing my butt off. Well, turns out.... the Spanish party literally all night. But we got tired around 2:30 AM so we all made the long (40 minute) drive back to Bermeo. We ended up falling asleep around 4:00 AM after getting ready for bed, etc. WELLLLLLLL the black out blinds did their job because we did not wake up on Saturday, March 19th until 1:00 PM!!! And that is where our story begins. Ethan was adamant that we go take pictures at the port with his camera. Since Matxalen and Jone had already planned other things to do that day, they were like oh okay?! And he wanted to tell them what he had planned, so while Amber was brushing her teeth, Ethan went to their room to explain *in Spanish* what he wanted to do. But again, y'all know Amber, and she is so nosey and HATES secrets. So she walked over to the room and literally said "I wanna be involved" 😂 so his chance to tell them had passed. We got ready and headed to the port. Without going into too much personal detail for Matxalen and Jone, Matxalen was driving and was getting really frustrated with the pedestrians waking in front of her car. So when we parked at the port... Matxalen decided she didn't want to go take pictures with us 😂😂 So we walk up on this big storm wall and are taking pictures and Ethan says "Do you want to take off your purse?" and Amber said okay sure, so she walked over and put her purse up on the wall and turn around to walk back and boom... he's down, Jone is videoing and I immediately start crying. All we remember is Ethan saying "Will you marry me?" and Amber said "Is this real?" 😂😂 The rest is literally history. We can't wait to get married and celebrate with you all. 💕
