We met a year before we started dating through friends. We talked every. single. day for an entire year before admitting to having feelings for each other. We continued to talk every day but both of us were too shy to make the next move into making things official. We were at a party one day and just didn't leave each other's sides the entire time. We shared our first kiss at that party and it was the day we both knew this was something special. He made it official the next day, but we decided to make our anniversary the day of our first kiss. We've been in love ever since.

The Bride's Point-of-View: For my birthday he took me parasailing cause I'd been talking about going for awhile but couldn't because of the weather every year. He planned the entire day and had 2 of my closest friends come with us to go parasailing, go to lunch, and then go "take pictures" on the beach in Daytona. He knew I loved the beach and always loved being there. We were taking pictures just enjoying the day when I turned around and he was suddenly down on one knee with this bright orange box. I remember being completely confused for about 3 seconds before I realized what was going on. He could barely get out the words "will you marry me" before I was crying and saying yes. The Groom's Point-of-View: I originally wanted to propose the weekend of her birthday but I thought that was kinda corny. So I decided to plan a day where me, her, and her 2 closes friends went parasailing for 2-3 hours. Then I casually brought up taking pictures at Daytona beach with her and her friends. I told her friends that I was planning to propose so they helped going along to go to the beach. We get to the beach like normal and I was taking pictures of them for memories, just very normal so she would be surprised later. Then I asked if they would take pictures of us. In every picture we took I was actually holding the box of the wedding ring and she had no clue. I believe awe took like 3 or 4 pictures but she still didn't noticed. Then her friend came to her to put little water in her hair just to make it look wet. And as soon as she saw me I was on one knee and asked her to marry me and she cried and said yes ! Happiest day of my life.
