How We Met
Our story began during our high school years. I was at Southwestern, and Benjamin was at Falconer. Our paths crossed thanks to a mutual friend who knew us both. This friend often shared stories about Benjamin in my art classes, which really sparked my curiosity about him. Those conversations led to our first introduction, and little did we know, it would become the foundation of our love story.
The Proposal
I wanted our proposal to feel special, so I kept it a secret from Lily. A few months ahead of time, I designed a ring that I thought she’d love. On the day of the proposal, we enjoyed breakfast at Sprague’s and then headed to Letchworth State Park, a place I knew meant a lot to her. When we reached the first scenic overlook, I felt my nerves kick in, but there was also so much excitement. I got down on one knee and proposed, and that moment was truly unforgettable, surrounded by the beauty of a place she cherished.
