Jon and I met in high school. We attended a small private school in Washington DC. We dated for some time then parted ways for several years after high school. To keep our long story short, we reconnected towards the end of 2016 and the rest is history. We are very pleased that some of our dearest friends from high school will be with us to share our special day. And we are blessed to share this day with all of our loved ones who have witnessed our journey.
Jon proposed to me at my brother Will's and my 30th birthday celebration. Some of our family and friends were there to share this moment. Jon told me not to expect any proposals during my birthday weekend or anytime soon. That night was so much fun. Jon wanted to play a game towards the end of the night. He had two cupcakes and wanted Will and I to compete to see who could eat the cupcake first. The loser would be penalized and I was set up to be the loser. My penalty was to be blindfolded and turned around in circles. I knew something was happening when I heard Jon playing our song. I took off my blindfold and there Jon was, on one knee! Jon: "You ready, you ready, yeah?" "Will you be mine forever, and ever and ever?" ME: <3 "YES!"
