From the Bride to be: Shortly after Doug moved back to Chicago from San Diego a mutual friend Eric came to visit him for the weekend. Eric and I became friends while attending Wright State University together several years prior. Our friend insisted that the both of us that we should meet one another. I didn’t think much of this at first, but Eric had actually told Doug before we met that he better be invited to our wedding. The first time I met Doug was after a long weekend of male bonding (ie: lots of adult beverages), but I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. The following Friday we met up for drinks after work and continued to talk until the sun came up the following morning. We both knew how lucky we were at that point to have met one another and couldn’t be more thankful for our friend's introduction.
The Proposal: Doug and I drove a little over 2 hours to the most Southern point of the United States on the Big Island of Hawaii to see the Green Sand Beach. Once we parked the car we had to hike about an hour to see the beach. It was an adventure for the two of us, and it was breathtaking. On the hike back to the car, Doug decided to take a picture of the two of us. As soon as he had snapped the picture, I turned around and he was on one knee asking if I would marry him.I said yes! It was truly an unforgettable day.
