I was happy when Justin texted me to say he had a half day at work and asked if I wanted to meet up for lunch. I said sure, I'm in. He suggested Garden Cafe - which we had since been to on multiple occasions, and I agreed that sounded great. We met up and had lunch, enjoyed our meal and conversation as we always do. I was excited to head to the beach, since we hadn't been there yet - his parents had bought a beach house in Cherry Grove, SC that they had fixed up. We finished the meal and I gathered my things and stood up ready to go. Justin said he was settling the check, so I sat back down and sipped on the last of my sweet tea, no problem.

He stands up and takes my hand, then drops to one knee and while I don't remember all of what I said, I do remember he told me I was his dream come true and he loved me more than anything. And opened the box to reveal a gorgeous engagement ring! Of course, when I found my words, I said yes!
