Proposal

Trevor proposed to me at the Clock Tower Lounge. Although I had hopes it would happen, it came as a surprise when it did. I thought it was another typical night out for karaoke with friends. The only hint I had that maybe something was up was that Trevor mentioned me doing my nails (I jokingly told him once that my nails better look good when he asks). I didn’t read too much into his suggestion though because he had done the same thing the last few times we had gone out somewhere. So there we were with friends and family and then Trevor went up to dedicate and sing “She’s Everything” by Brad Paisley to me. I have always loved this song and felt it was written for me haha but it still didn’t hit me what was happening until after the song finished and he held on to the microphone. Then he locked eyes with me and started walking towards me; got down on one knee and made me the happiest girl in the world!!!

How They Met

Although Trevor and I didn’t start dating until I was 22, he made a brief but impactful appearance in my life as a teen that started with the memory I will never forget, of the first time I saw him. It was Valentine’s Day my freshman year after school in the Stevens parking lot. We were walking towards each other and our eyes locked. His eyes never left mine as we silently walked closer. No words were exchanged, just an unwavering gaze. No one has ever looked at me the way he did and still does.
