We're getting hitched

We met in prison!!! We both work for a correctional center, where we became acquaintances and then friends. We had known each other for 6 years before the opportunity presented itself to move from friends to "Facebook official". We had both been in prior relationships, until we both found ourselves single, and shamelessly flirting with one another. It all started over a conversation about peanut butter, and which brand was best. He claimed that Peter Pan Honey Roasted peanut butter was the best, while I challenged him that creamy JIF was the only way to go!! That discussion led to messaging after work, where I insisted that he make me a sandwich so that he could prove his point. That conversation continued daily, until we decided to start seeing each other outside of work. We have pretty much been inseparable ever since!

Labor Day Weekend, we took a trip to Boone, NC to do some hiking, look at waterfalls, and see a Luke Combs concert. At this point, we had been seeing each other only a few months, but already living together and planning a future together. The first day in Boone we hiked to see waterfalls, and overlooks with amazing views. He had been acting strange all day, and I could tell he had something on his mind. Our last hike was at Flat Rock Overlook. We arrived at the top of the mountain, where the views were incredible; You could see for miles, and we were the only two people up there. He began pacing back and forth, and started to act very anxious. I was taking pictures of the view, when he stopped me and asked "are you sure I am what you want?" I of course responded with "yes!!" He dropped down on one knee, and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. It was the perfect day, and a perfect proposal! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in May!!
