How did you meet?!

“We went to the same high school, he was a senior when I was a freshman. We didn’t really know each other in high school, but both played sports that some times crossed paths. Fast forward to 9 years later and my cousin calls me to tell me there’s a guy her husband works with who is single and she wants to set me up with. Once she told told me who it was, my response was “I knew of him in high school, but I am not sure he is my type.” Dylan proceeded to reach out to me, and for about three weeks I wouldn’t give him the time of day. 🤣 Once I gave him an opportunity and got to know each other more, the rest was history!”

How did he propose?!

“I have to start out with a little of the back story. The week before Dylan proposed, he had told me to look at the new ornaments his mom bought us. I proceeded to walk over to the Christmas tree looking all over the place not finding any new ornament, after about 5 minutes I told him he was lying and there wasn’t any new ones. He told me he wanted to see how long I looked before telling me they were sitting on the kitchen counter. 🙃

Fast forward to 12/19/22, he came home after a work Christmas dinner, I was already showered and laying in bed since it was a work night. After about 5 minutes of walking in he proceeds to tell me to get up and come look at the new ornament he got, of course my response was “I’m not falling for that again.” After about 3 more times asking me, I got up went to look at the tree and it was an ornament that said 2022 happily engaged! I turned around and he was down on one knee and popped the question!

The even sweeter part of the proposal is he had no idea, but my dad proposed to my mom in a similar manner with a ring box that was an ornament and just the two of them at home!”
