Story: Joe and I have been together since our senior year of high school. After graduating high school, and then college, we moved away from our family in Philadelphia, to Raleigh, North Carolina for work. Being away from family was hard but it was easier knowing that I had him. For the proposal, he took me to Duke Gardens for a date and the entire time over, I had no clue what he was doing. He even hired a photographer who hid in the bushes! We were randomly chatting and he got sweaty and quiet, and then down on one knee. I didn't even hear him ask "Will you marry me?!" because I was already crying from happiness. After he proposed, I was a wreck, but in the best way. BUT THAT WASN'T ALL! As we walked around the gardens for good photo backgrounds, we went to a koi pond that the photographer thought was ideal. About 2 minutes into the session, I feel a hand on my shoulder that does NOT belong to my fiancé. I turned around and IT WAS MY DAD! In fact, it was ALL FOUR of my parents (mom, dad, step mom and step dad) as well as his mom!!!!! He brought them down for the weekend because he knew how important it was for me to share that moment with my family! I will forever be grateful to have met my soulmate at just 17 years old - 8 years later, and I still know that he's the one for me. I'm so lucky to be spending my life with someone who truly gets me!
