Happy Engagement Day to the man who was so excited to propose to me
that he forgot to get down on one knee.

and I’ll never let him live it down.

forever

I love you.

PS. Today also happens to be my best friend’s birthday.

She’s been my best friend since we were 12
and I’m lucky to have her in my life.

Happy Birthday Katharine!

    Aww Congrats. And that is cute about him not getting on one knee. My fiance was nervous and held the box upside down, so I thought he was showing me an empty box 🙂

    This was the sweetest most adorable post ever.

    I love that you married your college sweetheart! Mark and I met in college but didn’t date. Our backstory is pretty adorable though, and maybe I’ll share it someday soon if he decides to get some moolah together and propose. 😉
