WE MET ONE NIGHT IN COLUMBIA, SC AT A BAR CALLED NEW BROOKLAND TAVERN. WE WERE BOTH THERE FOR A SHOW GOING ON AND HAD NO IDEA WHO EACH OTHER WAS UNTIL I CLUMSILY STEPPED ON HIS FOOT AND FELL RIGHT INTO HIM. HE WAS SUPER NICE ABOUT IT AND CAUGHT ME AND I WAS CAPTIVATED BY HIS BRIGHT BLUE EYES AND MUSTACHE SO I HAD TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. WE EXCHANGED CONTACT INFORMATION AND THE REST IS HISTORY.

HE PROPOSED TO ME EXACTLY A YEAR AFTER WE MET EACH OTHER. WE LIKE TO CALL IT OUR "MEETAVERSARY". WE WENT UP TO THE MOUNTAINS TO HAVE A WEEKEND GET AWAY AND HE TOOK ME TO THE HIGHEST POINT ON THE BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY. HE PICKED ME UP AND PUT ME ON TOP OF THE SIGN THEY HAVE AT THE TOP, WHICH I FOUND TO BE EXTREMELY AMAZING BECAUSE I WAS 8 MONTHS PREGNANT AND I COULD'NT BELIEVE HE COULD LIFT ME! WE HAD OUR PICTURE TAKEN WITH THE SIGN AND ONCE HE GOT ME DOWN HE GOT DOWN ON ONE KNEE AND PROPOSED. THEN I SAID "YES" AND HE SMEARED MY LIPSTICK! <3
