I knew we had something special from very early on. Being 15 and 17 when we started dating I think most people just thought it would be a high school relationship but we both knew very early on we would be together forever.

I had just come out of the water from being dunked, literally looking like a drowned rat and noticed Brock walking toward me with purpose. He dropped one knee to the sand and said “At our favourite place, at the perfect time, I love you, will you marry me.” Short, but very sweet… I of course cried and said YES.

When I dropped him home from our first date, there was something in the pit of my stomach telling me that he was a special kind of character and someone I could see myself having an amazing life with – and I was right because he still makes my cheeks hurt from laughter to this day.
