Engagements: Ethan and Tiffany

Tiffany Bohm and Ethan Turner began dating in March 2011 after meeting through Ethan’s roommate at a party. The two exchanged numbers and went on their first date shortly after. After nearly five years of being together, Tiffany did not think that marriage would be in the forefront.

“He liked to joke and tease me and tell me he was buying random things from Craigslist instead of buying me a ring,” Tiffany says.

However, on the afternoon of October 17, 2015, all of Ethan’s joking came to an end. “We had plans to go to my mom’s house to take fall pictures, and we had a time set for 3:00 p.m.,” Tiffany says. “In the car, Ethan was telling me that he was going to buy a three-wheeler from Craigslist, which made me really mad because he’s always talking about buying stuff.”

Once the couple arrived, Tiffany’s mom suggested that they go on the dock to take pictures. “My mom has a home in Columbia and in her backyard, there’s a big gazebo that overlooks the lake,” Tiffany said. “That is where we were standing.”

After her mom snapped a few pictures, Ethan distracted Tiffany by saying, “Hey, look over there!” Tiffany looked to see what Ethan was pointing toward and turned back around after not seeing anything, but then she noticed the ring and Ethan on one knee. “It took me a second to realize that he had a ring,” Tiffany says laughing at the memory.

Ethan asked Tiffany’s parents for permission to marry her parents a few weeks prior, and the picture day was completely planned. The will wed at Tiffany’s parents’ home on October 15, 2016. The reception will be held at Knights of Columbus in Columbia.
