“Our story starts before we were born. Our grandparents went to high school together and were best friends. They grew up and had kids- our parents- who also became best friends. So I technically met my fiancée when she was four and I was only a couple months old. As kids, our families would get together and our parents would force us to take pictures together. I remember I would push my brother out of the way just so I could stand next to her for the photo. Then as teenagers we dated for two years and when I was 17, I went and bought the engagement ring. When I arrived at her house with the ring in my pocket and the speech prepared in my head, she broke the news to me that she wasn’t ready for that kind of commitment. So we split up and went our separate ways. I tried selling the ring but no one would buy it. We were both involved in other relationships over the years, but somehow would always find ourselves drifting back to one another. A little over a year ago she surprised me in Nashville and we spent the weekend together falling in love in a whole new way. Then a couple months later she asked me to move to Florida and I did. Now I’m 22 and she’s 27 and we’re engaged. I finally get to live out the same dream I’ve had since I was a little kid- to wake up next to her every morning.”
