How We Met
David and Bethany knew each other when they shot at their local gun club on a Jr. Rifle Club. I (Bethany) thought that he was a nerd and had no interest in boys at that point in my life. He graduated high school and joined the Army and left Erie. When he returned back home after a deployment and four years in the army he found me on Myspace. I was still able to shoot in the Jr. Rifle club and he was helping out. He asked me to hang out so we went bowling for our first date. (He won and still won't let me live it down).
The Proposal
David and Bethany went to a local ice cream shop one Friday evening after work (July 2, 2010 to be exact!). David asked Bethany if she would like to head down to the Lake while they ate the ice cream. While sitting in the car David suggested that Bethany get out of the car to "skip rocks with the lifeguard." Bethany laughed at him and said "No thanks!" Once they finished their ice cream they headed back to David's house. Talking about which movie they should watch that evening. They pulled into the driveway and David met Bethany on her side of the car. He put the trash she had in her hand on the back of the car and reached for Bethany's hand. Very confused, and thinking David was fooling around, she pulled her hand and said "Get away!" while laughing. Then he pulled out the ring and showed it to her and she immediately started crying! He asked if she would marry him and she said yes!
