Mutual friends invited both of us to a movie night where we met - and proceeded to talk throughout the entire movie. There was an instant connection between us and that was evident to everyone around us. Our paths crossed a few more times before our first date at a coffee shop (neither of us drink coffee...). After our first summer together, we both knew this was really going somewhere. Many dates spent walking, cooking, watching movies, taking trips to Kansas City, and learning more about each other everyday. Our engagement was a sweet, intimate one spent at Eurekas Springs finishing off the evening with a private proposal in the park. It was perfect. Since then, we have been planning not only our wedding, but our future together, and we can't wait for both.
