Since we met, Jeremy has always been the one to say, "I can't wait to marry you.". Like, no joke, 4 months into our relationship! Here I was thinking he was absolutely nuts! Little did I know it would happen in the most "Jeremy-like" way possible.

Blue Ridge is one of our absolute favorite day getaways. It's a simple hour and a half drive north and there are endless things to do, but we can still be home by 8! Our friend Jake had just recently landed a new job and what better way to celebrate than to escape to the mountains for the day! Little did I know, on April 14, 2018, we were going to be celebrating so much more than I bargained for.

The day started normal...Jake and Becca were picking us up and we were all heading to Blue Ridge to one of our favorite spots, Grumpy Old Men Brewing. Becca kept talking about making a stop on the way to take some pictures at a state park. The pictures were in her words "completely insta worthy"! On the way, Becca and I did what we normally do in the car with the boys, belted the Greatest Showman and Celine Dion hits! Our singing skills should definitely be noted as carpool karaoke worthy.

After winding through the mountains of North Georgia for what felt like 6 hours, we finally make it to Fort Mountain State Park. We got out of the car and proceeded down a short path. Becca and I were chatting about the Kim Kardashian game while we could feel Jake and Jeremy rolling their eyes at us from behind. Finally, we got to an overlook that looked out into the valley of the North Georgia mountains. To this day, it is one of the most amazing views I have ever experienced. There were a few people coming and going, since this was the entrance to the hiking trail, as well. We snapped a few pictures and just took in the view.

About 15 minutes of us being there, we had taken all the photos we were going to take, and I was ready to go. I was standing there looking at Jeremy and I jokingly said, "What do you want from me?". He looked me straight in the eyes and smiled saying, "To marry you, of course," I thought he was kidding for a minute. That was until he pulled out a box, got down on one knee, and asked me the question I know he had been waiting 6 months to ask! Of course, me being me, just shouted, "I knew it!". There were tears and hugs and all the things!

Jeremy could not have proposed any better way. I always told him I wanted a low key proposal, with not a lot of people around and that is exactly what he gave me! We left and headed to Grumpy Old Men, where I was even more surprised to find my family and friends waiting to celebrate!

The celebration has continued and will continue for the rest of our lives, but we are so excited to finally tie the knot in front of all of our family and friends in September!
