We met online, and our first date was amazing. We had lunch at a local Mexican restaurant, then spent the day at the beach and grabbed dessert on the way home. Every part of that first date was nothing short of perfection. As time went on, we fell more and more in love. After only 6 months of being together, we started discussing marriage, and we went ring shopping. We hadn't expected to find a ring that day, but we did. A few weeks later he took me on a date to Fort Pickens, an old battle fort here in Pensacola. We walked the grounds, taking in the sites until we found ourselves at a huge cannon. There he got down on one knee and said, "Abby, you make me the happiest man on earth. I couldn't imagine my life without you. Will you marry me?" I was overjoyed to hear those words from the man I love and I said yes. Now, here we are planning our wedding and we couldn't be happier.
