I met my future husband after my brother gave me a job at his company. It took us about 7 months to start talking and then we were hooked! He took me on a trip to Iceland about 2 months after we started dating, and we've been attached at the hip ever since. He proposed on our second trip to Iceland because it is special to us. It also happened to be my 26th birthday. I cannot wait to marry him in just a few months!

Happily married 🎉
