We're Getting Married!

We met in Shreveport, Louisiana at Broadmoor Middle Lab School in the 7th Grade. We had the same friend group which put us at each others birthday parties and group outings (we have some pretty epic photos).

We reconnected at Mutts in Dallas, Texas, where we are both currently living. After letting our dogs, Maverick and Lola, run around we decided to walk down the street for pizza. I ended up losing my keys and he helped me find them. We started officially dating in February of 2018! :)

We went through Merge (a class for seriously dating or engaged couples) at Watermark Community. During the class Loran was tasked with planning a date night for the two of us. We had to pick a night and he was to plan and pay for everything. He did an amazing job. Knowing I love surprises all he told me was that I would need to dress up a little. We started the date off with a trip to Deep Ellum Brewing, I had never been and he knew I'd been wanting to check it out so he made it happen! Next we went home and got cleaned up. We then took an Uber to Reunion Tower in downtown Dallas where we went up the observatory overlooking the city. He began saying the sweetest things to me about our relationship and how much he loved me. Next thing I knew he was down on one knee proposing! I was so shocked! I yelled 'YES' and as I looked up (after very graciously snatching the ring from the box) there was a photographer snapping photos of us! He hired a photographer! So sweet! We then walked down to find a horse and carriage waiting to take us to dinner. It was like a fairy tale. We arrived at Y.O. Steakhouse to find my parents, grandparents, his parents and our siblings waiting there for us along side 6 dozen roses. It's easy to say this was the best 'date night' of my life!
