Our story began at a "July birthday bash" celebrating, hence the name, July birthdays. I had tagged along with our mutual friend Layn, while Dylan was one of the July birthdays being celebrated. Not to mention, his 21st birthday. Let's just say it was an entertaining evening! He got my number from Layn the following day and the rest is our journey to happily ever after.

Dylan planned an important Christmas shopping trip to Indy for the afternoon/evening. And by "important" shopping trip, I mean we went to bath and body works in the mall.... And that's ALL! Here's where my suspicion kicked in.... and I was secretly looking at his pockets for a box :)

Next we strolled down to the circle where he had a horse and carriage waiting for us (now I was getting kind of nervous), however to throw me off again it still didn't happen. Next, we wanted our picture taken, so being the bold person I am I asked a couple (who was miserably failing at selfie mode) "I'll take your picture if you'll take ours?" They obliged and I even taught her some tricks with her phone. Now it was our turn, Dylan handed the gentleman his camera and the lady my phone. As their snapping away Dylan says "STOP, hang on a minute!" At this point all I can think is "well that's rude! These people are being nice and taking our picture." All of a sudden Dylan turns serious and sweet and nervous, he cutely fumbles through his speech and states he's nervous. He pulls out a sunglasses bag he got from his brother to carry the ring in his pocket and asks "will you marry me?" I said "YES!!"

Now back to the couple with our cameras .... He took pictures and the lady figured out what was going on and videoed the whole thing!! It was the perfect day and not to mention it was 12/13/14 :
