We shared lots of snackies indulging in everything from beef Jerky, to Ghirardelli milkshakes, to cookies ending the day splitting a meal at Joe’s Crabshack. We enjoyed our time together so much we went again last year and plan to make it an annual event.”

When did you get engaged?

“October 30th, 2021”

How did he propose?!

“He got my whole family involved! His mom had planned family pictures because we were going to be dressed up for a wedding. We were supposed to take them down on the riverfront by the water but the weather had other plans, It rained all day. He had my mom take me to get my nails done, she was going to a wedding the next weekend and said she wouldn’t have time to get them done if she didn’t go that day. She took me to pick out a new dress and helped me get all dolled up. I knew she was getting a little TOO excited for someone else’s family pictures but Travis was cool as a cucumber. A family friend was staying in the hotel downtown for the wedding we were to attend and she asked if we could use the lobby for pictures. We took several group photos and got down to individual couple pictures where it was just the two of us left. They moved us around two or three times trying to sneak my family in. My grandparents, parents, aunt and two of my cousins got to see him get on one knee and ask me to marry him. Of course I said yes! We kissed and the rest is history.”
