I met my fiancee on Facebook through mutual friends. At the time he was in the Marines stationed in North Carolina. The first two years of our relationship were long distance, it was tough, but in the end it made our love for each other grow stronger. Since then we have experienced many wonderful life achievements together, such as adopting our dog Jack, finishing college, getting our first real adult jobs, and currently closing on our first house! This past June, we traveled to Italy with some of his family (our first time out of the country!). We spent four hours on a tour bus driving from Rome to Positano, taking in the views of the almafi coast! Positano was absolutely breathtaking! We were out and about looking through stores and taking the views in, when we stopped down by the beach with a view of all of the buildings going up the side of the cliff, it was a beautiful picture. We asked a couple walking by to take our photo and thats when he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! When planning our trip to Italy I asked to visit Positano. The fact that he proposed in a place that he knew I was so excited to visit truly made me so happy! We were so blessed to be able to celebrate over lunch minutes after he proposed! Many of his family members were so surprised, but to my surprise his mom was in on the proposal the whole time! We are looking forward to planning our backyard wedding for next summer!
