Often on the blog I try to sum up something unique I learned about our couple. Sometimes there’s just no way to do that, so I’m copying this one directly from Anna’s first email to us, but it’s a good one. Enjoy their engagement story and buckle up!!

“We were on a trip to Olympic National Park in Washington State for Kyle‘s birthday in late April of 24. The weather was so gloomy and cloudy the whole weekend so Kyle carried the ring hiking for 3 days just hoping for a sunny moment with a view of Mt. Olympus to propose in front of. On the last night of our trip Kyle was in excruciating pain due to his gall bladder being inflamed (we knew about this previously and he had surgery scheduled back at home to have it removed the pain usually only lasted an hour or so before it passed) the next morning through the pain we went for one last walk on the beach we were staying on and he popped the question since we were headed back to FL that afternoon – it wasn’t what he envisioned but it was PERFECT!  After the celebration and an attempt to eat breakfast we ended up going to the hospital because Kyle was in so much pain…. a few hours later he was in emergency gallbladder removal surgery. We ended up stuck in Port Angeles, WA for a week for him to be safe to fly home…. and the sun finally came out so we drove back up Hurricane Ridge to view Mt. Olympus and he proposed again minus a gallbladder. It was quite the story but we wouldn’t have it any other way – in sickness and health right?!”
