Story
We’re finally getting married!! On May 19, 2019, Garrett proposed at Magic Kingdom right in front of the castle while our entire families were in town for Geneva’s law school graduation. To this date, Geneva is still shocked that he proposed in that moment. We have been doing life together since high school and, although life has not always been easy, it’s been perfectly imperfect. We have shared so many firsts together, first love, first degrees, first jobs, first time leaving home, first apartment, first puppy together, first careers, first promotion, first raises, first Cricut, first "Won't Back Down" at the Swamp, first Ed Sheeran concert, first time forcing Garrett on Tower of Terror and Velocicoaster, and now our first—and last—marriage. We look forward to a lifetime full of firsts because every memory we create together is truly sweet. We cannot wait to celebrate with everyone and dance the night away!
