The first time I saw Scott was at the gym one day after work. Mr. tall, dark and handsome caught my eye immediately but I was too shy to say anything, or even make eye contact for that matter. Pretty soon, my roommates had all heard about the boy at the gym and the daily house question became "Did you talk to gym boy yet?" I never did work up the nerve at the gym to say anything, but thanks to some liquid courage and the oh-so-classy downtown bar, BBR, we finally met.

I was standing beside the bar with my friends and out of the corner of my eye, spotted Scott, standing across from me. Within a couple of minutes, I found myself marching up to him, drink in hand, and embarrassingly blurting out that I had a huge crush on him. Just a week later, Scott picked me up and we went on our first date to a local cafe where he began to sweep me off my feet. Over the next two years, our relationship evolved and I knew Scott was the man I wanted to marry.

In February of 2016, Scott bought a house and asked me to move in with him. We spent the next several months tackling house projects, traveling from place to place and enjoying our time together.

At the end of the summer, Scott told me that he was going to take me to New York City for Christmas. Now…if you know me, then you are well aware that Christmas is my favorite time of year and I have been dreaming of going to see the Rockefeller Tree since I was a little girl. On Thursday, December 1^st, Scott and I woke up bright and early and headed to the airport. I can honestly say I have never seen Scott so anxious in my life! After a long flight delay, and what seemed like a never ending cab ride from the airport, we finally ended up in Time Square. We spent the day running around the heart of the city and every so often I would see a smile creep across Scott's face. I asked him at one point what he kept daydreaming about and he just laughed, saying he was excited to finally be here. Later that evening, Scott and I went back to our hotel and bundled up to go see the Rockefeller Christmas Tree.

I was so excited on our walk to the Rockefeller Center that I couldn't even tell you if Scott seemed nervous or not. Once we arrived, I stood there for a second and just stared…Scott spent the next 10-15 minutes having me look at the tree from different angles and stood behind me. After a minute or so, Scott asked me how tall I thought the tree was and then told me he had a second question to ask. At that moment, Scott came to my side and opened his jacket pocket. He dropped to one knee, opened a red jewelry box, and it felt like I had been staring at him forever before he finally asked, "Will you marry me?"

Within seconds there was a crowd of people around us cheering and yelling "SAY YES!" but I was completely speechless. The only thing I could do at that moment was to shake my head up and down, so as to say "yes" while staring at him. Even though we were surrounded by people, in that moment, it was just the two of us. Scott took my hand and slipped a perfect diamond ring on my finger.

We are so excited to begin this new chapter in our lives and blessed to share this experience with all of you. Looking forward to seeing you on August 5th!

With Love,

The Future Mr. and Mrs. Wildermuth
