“Garett and I first crossed paths nine years ago during our freshman year of high school. We had a few classes together, shared some mutual friends, and before long, we found ourselves talking nonstop about anything and everything. After a few months of this, Garett asked me to be his girlfriend, and of course, I said yes! Our very first date was late that spring, at the lake in Montana, where the water had pulled back just enough to leave the perfect little beach for us. Since then, we have had so many amazing adventures. This past April, on a trip to San Diego to meet up with our best college friends, Garett planned a moment I’ll never forget. Since we often go on long walks together, it wasn’t unusual when he suggested one early morning. We started along the beach, but then stopped on a grassy cliff overlooking the ocean just as the sun began to rise. There, with the waves crashing below and the sky painted in pink and gold, Garett asked me to marry him. We spent the rest of the morning in a blur of excitement before hurrying back to the hotel to share the news with our friends. The rest of the trip was pure celebration, good food, pictures by the beach, and even a little time dreaming about wedding plans. It was the perfect way to start the next chapter of our story.”
