We met at a public pool (romantic, we know). I texted a friend asking who the cute lifeguard was, which ended up being Connor. We spent our senior year of high school together 2 homecomings, 2 proms, and 2 graduations. We wouldn't have wanted it any other way!
We went to a beautiful flower picking garden. I suggested it so I didn't think much of it. However, the day of, he asked me what color I painted my nails which I found odd. I texted my friend that I thought he was going to propose but obviously didn't tell Connor. Connor was very quiet as we were picking flowers so I started to get suspicious. We were looking at the flowers & I continued to walk. When I turned around to mention something to Connor he was on one knee. I ugly cried (of course) & said "YES"!! We can't wait to start this next chapter together.
We were lucky enough to have each-other's back through all four years of college. Through a pandemic, getting accepted to medical school, working, and balancing our time between friends/each-other. We learned a lot about ourselves and our relationship throughout those four years and we are grateful we could experience it together.
