How We Met: Some friends and I formed a co-ed, sand volleyball team and joined a league-- and while we always had fun playing, we were terrible. One night, our team was short a guy. So one of the guys on the team offered to call up his buddy Mike as a sub. Mike shows up, saves every wayward ball, and leads us to victory! Afterwards, the team relaxed over some cocktails. I made sure to talk it up with the new MVP! Mike later became a permanent player on our team.

Our First Date: We discovered we both liked to play tennis, so a few weeks after that game, Mike made a court date with me. After playing a match (I believe he won!), he asked if I was hungry. I said yes and wondered where we should go to eat. He said, "How about my place?" And ended up fixing me an absolutely amazing steak dinner, grilled asparagus, mashed potatoes, and dessert. We stayed up talking all night.

How He Proposed: We were getting ready to go out for dinner for his birthday. Mike tells me I look beautiful, but that perhaps my outfit needs "a little something." He pulls out the most beautiful ring, starts saying the most beautiful things, and proceeds to get down on one knee and asks me to marry him. It was sweet, simple, and from the heart.

Favorite Things to Do: We enjoy cooking together, playing tennis, watching movies, having friends over for dinner and traveling. After nearly six years as a long-distance relationship, we just love being together.
