We’re getting married!

We met our first year of Jr High. I was an outsider at Toby Johnson because I came from Folks Ranch Elementary. The designated Jr. high was Harriet Eddy. Almost everyone from Toby Johnson came from the same 2 elementary schools in that area. I had to make all new friends which is hard for me being that I am so shy. Quickly I became friends with a girl named Jada, who was friends with Patrick. Patrick noticed that Jada was "my person" and he started asking her questions about me. Soon after that Patrick and I started talking more and hanging out. We were friends for about 6 months before we started to "date". I quote the word date because we were only 13 years old. 1 month became 2 months became 3 years. We've been together for 9 years as of May 5th 2021 and now we are here. The year of our wedding. What makes this even more unique and special is that we have never seen or loved anyone else. We are each others firsts and we intend to be each others lasts.

Summer of 2018 was our first year graduated from High School. Patricks family and I had a trip planned to go to Mexico, And by far this was the best Mexico trip ever. As it normally goes, I had no idea that Patrick was going to propose to me... but Patrick didn't know he was going to either. Now I can't give you all the details on why he decided out of the blue he wanted to propose to me, because I have no idea. To this day, he still won't tell me what made him decide that he was gonna ask me to marry him, but here is how it went. The night he asked me was August 25th 2018. After dinner everyone went back to their rooms and settled for the night. Patrick asked me if I wanted to go for a walk to the beach. I didn't think anything of it because it was something we always do. We walked all the way down the beach and back to where we started. We stood there for a while listening to the soft crashes of the ocean waves on the beach. Him standing behind me hugging me. It was after sunset so it was darker outside, some of the patio lights from the restaurant behind us were still on. He turned me around and asked me to hold his phone up for light so he could get something from his pocket. I was still watching the ocean so I didn't see what he pulled out. He regained my attention and asked me to marry him. Just to make sure I wasn't dreaming, I ask him "Is this real??" after the shock passed (just a few seconds) I obviously said yes! On the "photos" page the picture of the beach is the spot he proposed!
