Reagan and I grew up in the same church and attended the same high school. However, our paths didn't cross until a snowy February night in 2016. She joined a group of friends and me for bowling that evening. I don't know if it was her personality, looks, or her ability to bowl left handed with a sling on her right arm that got me, but I knew I had to get her number after that night. Luckily I didn't even have to ask. Her friend texted me her number the following day and said, "Reagan is home from college recovering from surgery and would love to get together again with our group of friends." I sat with her number until her birthday, and when I wished her a happy birthday, I also asked if I could see her again. She said yes and the rest is history. After many dates, trips around the US, and months spent thousands of miles apart, I found myself on a beach in Charlestown, MD, on December 29, 2021, on one knee. I wouldn't change anything about our story, and I can't wait to marry my best friend. -Adam
