Our relationship started by us going on three dates in the first week. Two months later, Elle said "I love you." Five months in Ricky asked Elle if we were "serious." Then Ricky took a job that required him to travel, so we got the opportunity to take a cross country road trip together. When Elle returned to Seattle to visit nearly two months later, Ricky popped the question in front of Mt. Rainier. Elle wishes "Yes" had immediately came out of her mouth but what she actually said was "Are you serious?" And at that moment, Ricky's car alarm went off! Luckily he was, in fact, serious and her answer was, of course, YES! Our families and friends have shown us such love and support during this time, and have encouraged our relationship, saying we are a good fit for each other. We are so grateful for this encouragement and look forward to starting this next chapter of our lives in the presence of our friends and family. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
