We met on July 14th (7 and 14 are our lucky numbers) at a street fair in Portland, OR. Caroline had friends visiting and they had been wine tasting earlier that day. After the wine tour they went to the Mississippi street fair. Meanwhile, Dustin had been day drinking at the street fair all day with his friend Mike. We both ended up at a bar called bar bar and Val + Mariel decided to play wing women and went up to Dustin and Mike and asked if they were single. Dustin chatted with them for awhile but Caroline was no where to be found (really she was eating a cheeseburger with Nike friends). She eventually made her way back over and was being hit on by some random guy while Dustin eavesdropped to see if it was anything serious. Dustin finally got her attention and the other guy was history. He basically moved in with her two months later (in her opinion) but they officially moved in together 5 months later. There was just one problem... Caroline had a tiny white fluffy puppy named Jack and Dustin swore up and down he would never be a small dog person. Fast forward three months and i think its safe to say Dustin loves Jack as much as Caroline :) Don't worry Dustin got the big fluffy puppy he wanted after drunkenly purchasing Tucker after yet another wine tour adventure. Dustin had so many plans for the proposal... Italy, Cabo, LA with the Wyatts. Enter covid-19 and all plans were out the window! So he proposed in their living room on easter weekend. He set up a an easter egg hunt and each egg had a sentimental note and a clue to find the next hidden egg. Caroline being the competitive person she is didn't pay much attention to the sweet notes and focused on winning the hunt. When she found the last egg it was empty and she was annoyed there was no big surprise. She turned around to complain that this was the dumbest game ever... little did she know Dustin was waiting on one knee to ask her to spend the rest of her life with him. <3
