A few years ago Gavin and I met through mutual friends. After some time passed by Gavin and I ran into each other at a Starbucks in Mississippi (now we call it our stomping grounds.) After talking on the phone for several months we both decided to give a relationship a try and see what comes from it. Fast forward a bit of time things started getting serious and I decided to uproot my life and career to move to Alabama as that is where he lived with his kids and family. After moving to Alabama things just kept sparking, the love and bond we had just kept growing and growing into something so amazing. As time passed by Gavin decided to go meet with my dad and ask for my hand in marriage without knowing anything of that conversation until the moment I called to say I was engaged.

Engagement:
One morning Gavin and I were sitting in the car talking about life lately and both of us decided we wanted to get out of the house for bit so we made plans to go out on a Saturday to spend time together. By the time Friday rolls around the forecast came out and said it was supposed to be raining, lightning, and thundering all day so our plans got moved up to that day. When heading out we go to dinner before going for a walk on the beach where Gavin pulled out a ring from his pocket and proposed. Thank goodness the date was moved up as that night both of us would be sick and in bed all weekend long even though the weather only stayed for an hour that day.
