How We Met

Rachel and I are optometrists, we met during our rotations in our 4th year of school.

The Ring

Both of the diamonds were passed down to us from our families. The round diamond was from my grandparents. The marquise was her mothers.

The Proposal

Fast forward to a few weeks ago when I decided to take us on our first mini vacation together to the finger lakes. The proposal actually was not planned to happen during this trip. Thankfully I had the foresight to just have the ring with me just in case. After a big steak dinner we tried to walk off the meat sweats by exploring a little pier nearby...and the rest is history.

While driving through the countryside on a day trip, they pulled over to take some photos. Jeremy had Eliza pose as he set up the shots. He asked her to turn around while he reached into his pocket. When she turned back, she found him on one knee with the camera in one hand and the ring in the other. It took her a moment to realize what was happening. Then she gasped, and Jeremy snapped the photo. It was the easiest and happiest yes.
