We’re getting married!

Peyton and I met in college at a rugby party. I went to two parties in college and met him at the second one. He followed me around all night, though he will tell you I followed him, and there was an instant connection. That night he asked me for my phone number and I gave it to him, but didn't put my name in is phone to see if he would remember. I left the party around 1 am and had a text from him by 3 am. We have been inseparable ever since :)

On Christmas Eve, we were heading up to my grandparents house to celebrate with my dads side of the family when Peyton suggested we take my moms camera to their house to take a family picture since the whole family was in town. Once we got to her house, we played Dirty Santa and then were going to have dinner. Peyton suggested we do the picture after dinner, but my grandmother insisted that before dinner was better because of the lighting. The pressure was on! We get the whole family outside and pull out my moms camera all to realize it was dead. So my cousin Carson, knowing what was about to happen, began running around the house looking for his camera while my whole family and I stood there saying "we can just take it with a phone stop running around Carson!" and Carson would yell back - "No I'll have it in a minute" As we all stood there angrily waiting with the sun beating in our eyes, Carson finally arrived with the camera and handed it to my cousins boyfriend to take the pictures. We took a few pictures, and then Peyton moved me over and got down on one knee. Of course, upon being moved over my first words were "what are you doing" and then it hit me, he was proposing! My cousins in the back of the photo couldn't see what was going on, so they were yelling "Who fell???" and my aunt is screaming in shock. He finished saying his amazing proposal and of course I instantly said yes! We took some more pictures, and then we were off to call his parents and all the rest of our families to let them know the good news!
