How did you and Riley meet?
We met when I was in 1st grade and he was in 3rd. We played on a mini basketball team together. Our dads were the coaches, but our families go even further back than that!

How did he propose?
Riley purposed to me at the hospital after our daughter Aynslee Élise was born! He tied the ring around her waist after her first bath! It was one of the best days of my life. I became a mother and said yes to the sweetest and most handsome man ever!

Cake flavors
