Our first date was at Look Noodles. It was Will's favorite ramen restaurant, but an adventurous choice for Emily. She'd always been a little picky. From dinner to a poolside music session at Will's place, time flew by. With music, smiles, and conversation, we discovered the joy of shared tastes and the rhythm of our growing connection.

On the day that Will proposed, he suggested starting the day with a four mile walk. Emily hesitated because of the rain, but Will insisted. At the end of the walk, Emily was ready to head back home. Will began talking about taking in the beautiful surroundings, sharing sweet sentiments as the rain suddenly stopped. Under the clear sky, Will asked Emily if she would spend the rest of her life with him. With a joyful "yes," we took our first steps toward a new life as husband and wife.
