Our Wedding

It all started at Purdue University. Greg was a sophomore while Cydni was a freshman. They had multiple classes together, but never interacted until a sad, unexpected day.&nbsp;&nbsp;

All they knew was that there was an active shooter on campus, very near to where they were. Soon they were ushered into an office and they began to talk. Cydni didn't know it at the time, but it was because of Greg that she stayed calm. When the all clear was given, they exchanged numbers and Greg made sure that Cydni was okay later in the day. They agreed to meet at the candlelight vigil. Cydni couldn't believe that Greg showed up in a full suit... in below zero temperatures. But he was a gentleman and showed his respects to the victim, a student who lived two doors down from him.&nbsp;He continued to prove to Cydni that he was someone special when he walked her back to her dorm as he was shivering relentlessly.&nbsp;

Soon they had plans to go on a date that weekend. Their first date was ripped right out of a fairy tale. It started out with Cydni and her friends spending hours preparing her for the night out. Greg spent five minutes getting ready and was out the door. After Greg was ambushed by Cydni's friends, they were off to the basketball game...&nbsp;with her friends spying on&nbsp;them from two sections over... Greg was shocked at how little Cydni knew about Purdue traditions. Soon Cydni was being taught all of the cheers and especially the Hail Fire.&nbsp;

Eventually, Greg asked, "What is one thing I&nbsp;should know about you?" Cydni quickly replied,&nbsp;"I&nbsp;am obsessed with Disney!"&nbsp;Greg nodded, but little did he know what that truly meant. After the game, Greg was kind enough to drive Cydni to dinner... after a long... cold... walk to the parking garage. When they arrived at the restaurant, they quickly struck up a conversation about everything...&nbsp;pets, family, life... it was going off without a hitch! So, naturally, while Greg left to use the restroom, Cydni quickly dug her phone out of her purse and frantically texted her friends how well it was going!&nbsp;All before Greg returned.&nbsp;

After dinner, the conversation continued during a leisurely drive through the&nbsp;West Lafayette countryside. Things moved quickly, but Cydni grew weary and friend-zoned Greg... hardcore. Greg soon began to pull away and only then did Cydni realize she loved having him around. The rest is history.&nbsp;

They quickly created so many memories and went on many adventures. Soon Greg had Cydni painting up for football games, they were watching NCIS&nbsp;from start to finish, cooking dinners, and struggling through the rigorous college coursework together. During the summers, they spent time away from one another to be with their&nbsp;families, but they endured and grew stronger.&nbsp;

After almost four years, Cydni was getting restless and started pestering Greg about where the ring was.&nbsp;

He responded with, "It will come soon enough. Be patient, this is my thing and I&nbsp;want it to be a surprise! Stop bugging me about it."&nbsp;

Little did Cydni know, Greg already had his family's blessing, her family's blessing, and the ring.&nbsp;

On January 13, 2018, Greg led Cydni to the Engineering Fountain at Purdue, near where they met.&nbsp;

He stopped her and soon asked, "Do you know how much I&nbsp;love you? Do you love me?"&nbsp;

To which, Cydni replied, "Yes..." with a shaky voice and tears in her eyes.&nbsp;

Before she knew it, she saw a blurry Greg down on one knee and hardly heard him ask, "Will you marry me?"&nbsp;

Cydni doesn't remember what she said, but Greg said she tried to nod amidst the tears and excitement. Not satisfied by that answer, and trying to get off the cold ground, Greg&nbsp;asked again and Cydni strongly replied, "YES!"&nbsp;

And with that, the next chapter of "Our Adventure Book"&nbsp;began...
