We met in January of 2013, and 10 years later here we are!
The proposal was so unexpected! Caleb invited some friends over for my birthday on October 2nd, 2021, but totally played it off like we were only doing dinner and then having drinks at home. When we walked in the house, a bunch of our closest friends were hiding to surprise me! As I was hugging everyone for sharing in my birthday with me, Caleb had grabbed the ring from his hiding spot and came into the living room and held my hands. He started saying the sweetest things about how now seems like a fitting time in front of our closest friends, and I just knew what was happening. I lost it! I started crying as he was down on his knees with the most beautiful ring!! He had to ask me again to make sure I had said YES because I was crying !! It was the most perfect and thoughtful proposal for us, because we consider our friends as our family too! And it was so amazing that so many of them got to share in that part of our story with us!
