We met in college at SEMO, both working toward a Sport Management degree and quickly realized we had more in common than homework. We spent a lot of time together at the school’s sporting events—me on the dance team, him helping behind the scenes. I asked him to join me for a guy-girl halftime dance at a basketball game—and to my delight, he said yes! My mom, watching from the stands, immediately declared him a great dancer. Then, while I was stuck on the sideline, she marched over and introduced herself to him, making sure he had her seal of approval too. From shared classes to center-court moments, we’ve been laughing, cheering, and dancing through life together ever since.
I knew we were getting pictures taken together for the first time by a photographer but, I did not know that it would turn into our proposal shoot.
