Our Story
How We Met
After J asking me out severallll times with the encouragement from literally all of our friends, I finally gave in & it was the easiest date I've ever been on. I immediately knew Jacob was the one. I literally think we've been together every single day since. It was the best decision I ever made, agreeing to that dinner.
The Proposal
We went to the beach with some family and I apparently didn't make it easy for J! His plan was to snap some pictures before we went to dinner one night, but I took my sweet time getting dressed. We ended up having to go straight to dinner, ruining his plans and ran out of time. Last minute, they decided to go looking for sand crabs for Abram & I didn't notice that I was the only one actually looking. After finding a crab and losing it about 4x, Jacob & Abram both asked me to marry them & it was such a sweet surprise! The most perfect & unexpected proposal surrounded by my family, at my late Great Uncle Harry's condo on Perdido Key Beach which makes it that much more special.
