Wedding Date on Oct 20, 2018

Cameron and I had a few mutual friends in high school but we went to different schools. I remember Cameron and his dad attending Clearbranch UMC and he would sit in front of my family and I. I took the next step (as any 16 year old would do) and added him on Facebook (funny, I know). We began talking and then met up one afternoon in my parents driveway and have been together ever since. We have been together since I was 17 and he is my best friend. I had planned for some family pictures at Avondale park with my parents, sister, and Cameron (Cameron hates pictures), and we were supposed to go on a Sunday afternoon. We were eating lunch at Olive Garden the afternoon of our pictures, and I got a message that our pictures are needing to be moved to Morris Ave in downtown Birmingham because of an unplanned event in the Park that day. The pictures were the day before my birthday, and we were going to eat with both of our families afterwards. We get to Morris Ave and his mom and sister are already there (we weren't supposed to eat for another hour) but they live a good ways away, so I just figured they were early. Everyone strolled down Morris Ave taking pictures at various stops. We got to the end of Morris Ave where there is a beautiful ivy covered wall, and Cameron and I were taking our last picture when he got down on one knee in front of our families and asked me to marry him! It was such a surprise and absolutely perfect. He had contacted the photographers ahead of time and everyone knew but me!
