After attending the same, small high school for nearly 3 years, we met on the Cross Country team and ended up both going to Homecoming 2011 with friends where we started to get to know each other. We exchanged numbers, started talking, and hung out with friends together. Several months and a few awkward “dates” later, we started officially dating, and we’ve been high school sweethearts ever since.
After dating for more than five years, Gregg asked my dad for his blessing to marry me. Then came the proposal. Not having known Gregg had asked, and that my dad had said yes, I was not expecting to be asked the question anytime soon. We were in Myrtle Beach, SC and walking the beach at Myrtle Beach State Park, I dropped to one knee and asked her the big question. I’m sure you all know what the answer was. To this day, our proposal is one of our greatest memories that we both cherish, and we wouldn’t have had it go any other way.
