We first met in Mrs. Garrison's 6th grade math classroom at Asheville Middle School in August of 1999. We won't claim that it was love at first sight (Aaron was still wearing nylon shorts with his shirt tucked in and socks pulled up too high, and Elizabeth was already about as tall as she is now), but we did meet each other, and soon became friends.

We talked to each other through middle school and "dated" each other's friends (Elizabeth even helped Aaron put up a happy birthday sign for his girlfriend inside the girl's quarters on an overnight field trip). Eventually we became best friends in high school, and Elizabeth even convinced Aaron to play in the rain a few times. At long last, we finally discovered that we liked each other as more than friends. We dated twice in high school, starting junior year.

We broke up before we went away to college, but still kept in touch. We visited each other a few times. During one of these trips, we went up to Mountain Lake outside of Blacksburg, and had a grand time. It soon became obvious that we weren't doing ourselves any good by pretending we weren't in a relationship. So, we began dating again, and had a long distance relationship for a while.

The Proposal

-

Eventually, I (Aaron) decided that it was time to pop the question. I took Elizabeth back up to Mountain Lake (one of our earlier trips that we both had fond memories of, and which played a part in us getting together in college). We hiked around the lake, and after having lunch, we wandered around the grounds, and eventually wound up at the gazebo which played a big role in Dirty Dancing. After dancing in the gazebo, I told her that I wanted to let her know exactly how much I loved her. I told her all the ways that she meant so much to me, but said I wasn't sure that I would ever be able to fully explain myself, but that I brought a song with me that I thought would. I put one earbud from my iPod in each of our ears, and began singing "For Good" from Wicked to her along with the music. When it was done, I pulled the ring out of my backpack, got down on one knee, and stammered out 7 words: "Elizabeth Snow Pressman, will you marry me?" She said "Yes, of course!" (or something like that, I was too nervous to remember)
