Britteny and Jon have known each other for quite a while. They went to the same Catholic School, one year apart in age, from years K-8. I didn't meet Jon until he joined us at the high school.
Britteny and I were never really friends with him. We knew Jon, but he wasn't in choir with us and he wasn't in any classes with us due to being a year younger.
That all changed when we were in University.
Jon came to the same college that Britteny and I attended. We started spending more time with him and getting to know him during junior year, when he started working at our campus tutoring center with us. (I just realized that I forgot to mention this in my last post. Britteny was a Math Education major in university, and I just liked Math and eventually took it on as a minor. We both started tutoring fellow students our sophomore year. Jon, who was also majoring in Math Education, started working with us a year later.) We all even took a class about tutoring methods together. (Seriously, those were a lot of fun.. I'm linking them.) We got to know Jon a lot better from spending time with him at work.
Alright, I admit, you might find those lame and confusing if you know nothing about math or math related pick-up lines.. But I just had a great time re-watching them!
Towards the end of junior year, Britteny told me that she thought Jon liked her. Not long after, Jon confirmed it to me. That summer, they went on a few dates before confirming the relationship on the 6th of July, 2011.

| Two year anniversary. 2013 |
Jon originally wanted to propose on their two year anniversary, however he didn't have the ring back from the jeweler yet. He mentioned that the anniversary present hadn't come in yet and that he would give it to her soon. About two weeks later, Jon brought Britteny out to dinner for, as she was told, her birthday.
After dinner, Jon brought Britteny to a park and gave her the belated anniversary present. Jon had concealed the ring within three boxes. While Britteny worked her way to the center, Jon got down on one knee.
[After answering Jon's question, Britteny immediately texted me and asked to Skype. When we were on, I could see the happy couple together in Jon's car. It was then that I became the Maid of Honor (officially).]
Jon had one last plan for the evening. He brought Britteny to a restaurant where their families were waiting to congratulate them and celebrate.
