π A Love Story, as told Hope and Everett ππ
"Our story began in July 2023 when we met at a professional military course. One of our mutual friends is the reason we met. I, Hope, was the one pursuing Everett on multiple occasions (he was oblivious) and finally on my final attempt to get this man's attention, I said "Archery," and he spun around and instantly started a conversation. We instantly had a connection and went from friends to right away starting to date after the professional military course.
Fast forward to a beautiful day in May in front of our beloved dog Bailey, in the living room - while Hope is deathly sick no less - Ev proprosed! And I said yes, of course, after an audible "No! Not like this! I'm sick!" The next day so we could have our engagement photos, we staged our engagement at Garden of the Gods in Colorado, so we had photos to share! (This is where the original proposal was to happen!)
Our love is one that God placed before us, because we are who each other were searching for, and who we needed, and will continue to need as our life together continues to grow. We have each grown in monumental ways, each building the other up and placing more surefooted steps for us to climb. We truly appreciated all your love and support and can't wait to celebrate with you all!"
