It’s hard to define exactly when our first date happened. We met very randomly at a mutual friend’s house and talked for twelve hours that night. It was clear at that moment we were in love. Our first planned date was the next day at a restaurant in Jacksonville. We had a stranger take our picture in front of a pond, where we sat after dinner talking for another 5 hours. I can’t imagine a greater treasure in life than finding someone to share your heart with, and I truly don’t believe that first date is over yet. The momentum hasn’t stopped and now that night, that date, that moment of fate has turned into a love story.
Our Love Story
We fell in love the night we met. It can’t start much better than that. After meeting at a mutual friend’s house at 8pm, we sat and talked until 8am without a pause. Our mutual appreciation for flying and a strong shared faith led to a romance like no other. A month into the relationship Carl set up a city wide scavenger hunt bouncing from one previous date site to another, and finally ending at the most romantic restaurant in town. While at dinner he asked me where I’d like to go next. I answered “Ireland!” He then spent the next year preparing our trip to Ireland and has been trying to make every dream of mine come true since. He has been flying since he was 13 years old, was the youngest man to ever be hired by Northwest Airlines, and now is in flight training for the Air Force. He proposed a year and a half after we started dating, and did it in the most amazing and fitting way possible. Two days after Christmas he took me on a surprise helicopter tour of the hills and valleys of Branson, Missouri. After a beautiful flight and bottle of Champagne he proposed stating: “The two most important things in my life have always been God and flying. Since meeting you, the most important things in my life are God and you. I wanted to combine all three when I ask…Will you marry me?” After the mid-air proposal and a very ecstatic “YES!!”, we landed in a secret location where his entire family was waiting with flashing cameras and open arms. My fiancé has spent the last two years trying to make all of my dreams come true, including planning my dream wedding. I would love to win this wedding giveaway so that I could finally give him something amazing in return.
