But then I had a lightbulb moment and decided why not ask him? He was my best friend and as much as I wanted to be proposed to to see a man show his vulnerability and love for me, I knew I didn’t need it because Austin shows me everyday he loves me. I never have to question it. There’s no one else I would rather do life with.

Read MoreWe got up before the sun and were treated to a dark and quiet Times Square. It was truly wild to be there in the morning before the city had woken up.
