I've known this guy since I was 13 years old. It's been a solid 16 years of friendship with him. I have come to realize the older I get, the more I just want my dear friends and family to be happy. A few days before these images were taken, all four of us were at lunch and when Dalia sneaked off for a moment on a walk in the park, we asked Jaxon when/if he would pop the big question to her! His response, "we are young, there is time. No need to rush it!" Little did we know, that Jaxon was planning on asking Dalia to marry her the next day! I could not be happier for these two!
They met in Spain, where Dalia is from! They could not be more perfect for each other. As cliche as that sounds, I am so glad to see Jaxon happy. These two make sense together. With all of us in town, it was perfect timing to head into the woods above where we grew up. Then down to the fountain in town where Jaxon proposed! These are the moments that make my heart so happy! Felicidades Jaxon y Dalia!
