We were in Panama City Beach, Florida for a softball tournament. Back at the house that morning, someone made the comment of going to take a group photo on the beach, now I don’t know about you but group photos early in the morning are not our strong suit. After some graveling, we all got up and headed over to the beach. As we walked onto the beach it started to rain, of course, but I thought in my head this would be a perfect location for someone to get engaged! After the guys all took a photo, I was told to hop in. Standing there, our friend yells, to come in closer, but the guy beside me goes farther away. I turned around to look for Garrett. There he was down on one knee, asking me to marry him. Words could not even come out of my mouth, I was so in shock. Of course, I made the inference of yes! And the rest is history.
