How We Met and the Engagement
Meeting: We met through a number of friends who had mentioned one another to the other for some time. But the big Kahuna when it came to putting the ball in motion was Duane's sister-in-law, Tammy! Duane contacted Audrey and it was full force from the get-go! Those Johnsen Boys don't mess around! Like Flatt & Scruggs sing, Johnsen boys taught them pretty girls don't be afraid.
Engagement: Sunrise. Games. A hike. Bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. (Kinda' like Rocky Top) It was followed by a surprise party at Duane's place with many family and friends. Duane COMPLETELY surprised Audrey which was fun for us! Both of our families were in town for Thanksgiving so it was so special to have them there to celebrate with us.
