In the middle of May, we were introduced at a mutual friend's house, yet had little interaction throughout the night. After a couple weeks went by, we hung by the pool with friends, where Scott proceeded to only say, “Hi” throughout the entire afternoon. Over the next month, both of us thought that the other was not interested. However, in mid-July, we went to see "The Conjuring" with a couple friends and began a conversation that did not stop. A week later, we went on our first date and began our journey together! We attribute how we met to many of our friends. Without them, our story would not have begun or been as exciting with all of our fun adventures!

It was a Tuesday afternoon. As I returned home (over an hour later than expected), Scott came down our deck stairs, offered to grab my work bag, and told me to walk through the kitchen rather than through the front door. Thinking nothing of it, I handed over the bag and began trudging up the stairs after a long day at work, tired and with sore feet from new shoes. When I walked into the kitchen, there was a beautiful, red rose and the new “Beauty and the Beast“ movie, my favorite movie, on the counter. Then, I turned and started to look through the mail. At that moment, Scott grabbed my hands and turned me around to face him as he knelt down. Immediately, I exclaimed, “This isn’t happening!” However, he reassured me that it was and asked me to spend forever with him. It was the simplest question with the simplest answer. “Yes!” Afterwards, wearing my slippers, we went to my parents’ house to celebrate the good news, walking in to a fully decorated house! Scott had spoken to Denise and Scott the weekend before, so they were prepared for this night. We spent the rest of the evening with family and friends celebrating the start of this next chapter. We are so excited to have you join us as we turn the page, beginning this new chapter of our lives together. Now, let’s celebrate!
