Brides Perspective

I met Jonny at a mutual friends birthday party, at first Jonny was really quiet and he didn’t say a word to me, later I found out that he didn’t really like me. A few months pass and we started to get closer, I remember he used to show up outside of my house every couple of days and we would talk until the sun went down sometimes. We would walk or ride skateboards to the park or the levee, or even just to random gas stations and eat snacks in the park all day. One day in January of 2023 Jonny showed up outside of my house and he was acting sort of weird, I kept asking what was wrong and eventually he told me he liked me, and I liked him too. A few months later in May, we sat down with our parents and asked for permission to court each other and they gave us the green light. These past 3 years together have been amazing. We have had hard times, but we have both grown so much together, we have shared most milestones together in our teenage years, we have both watched each other get our licenses, our first jobs and our first cars. In December of 2025, me and Jonnys family all went to Florida to visit our friends for their wedding, I had known Jonny was planning to propose soon, and I had hoped it was going to be in Florida but I was told It was not happening so I gave up on hoping. However, on the second day of our trip we had planned to take pictures for Sammies graduation and so we planned to go to the botanical gardens in Gainesville Florida. Cheyanne casually mentioned how she wanted to take pictures of me and Jon for her portfolio and so we both got dressed up to take pictures, little did I know this was the plan all along. We had searched for this really pretty tree and when we found it Jonny started dancing with me, country swing. He did this move called the proposal where you get down on one knee and twirl the girl around so he did that once and then he did it again, on the second time he pulled out a ring and said “madi, will you be the best part of my life and marry me?” And through a shower of tears and rain, i said yes!
