The proposal: “My grandma and his mom were best friends. We grew up around each other. I grew up crushing hard on him but of course he didn’t know who I was. We have a eight year gap between us so he when I was 5 and started crushing on him, he had no clue who I was. Life happened and our paths drifted apart.

Fast forward to my 18th birthday when I moved back in with my dad. I had to figure out how to see this crush of mine again. My grandma invited his mom and sister over and I started hanging around with his sister. One day I was asleep on the couch and I heard him come up the stairs. My heart was racing and my palms were sweaty. This feeling was one I had never felt before and I knew it was something more then a crush. We started dating and I brought him to my dads party and show off. Long story short I blacked out and woke up the next day to him beside me. At that moment I knew this man was going to one day be my husband.

Our story is unique and incredible. We were each other’s firsts and have currently been together for 10 years. We are suppose to get married the 10th month of the 10th day 10 years of being together. I love this man and can’t wait to share our special moment with our loved ones. ” – Dakota
