I moved to South Carolina two and half years ago, and I met Michael within 1-2 weeks of moving here. We met at work, and instantly thought each other were “cute”, but we both had a rule to never date someone we worked with. After a few months of having random conversations at work, we decided to go hiking, just as “friends”. Within two days, we admitted to liking each other far more than friends. We kept it quite from work and the general public for a little over 2 months.

He proposed on our year anniversary, at Pretty Place Chapel. One of our first hikes was near the chapel, and we got to talking about how beautiful it was. Mike knew that I wanted to get married there, so we went up there for the sunrise on our anniversary and he proposed.
