Out of all the colleges and all the bases, these two ended up in the same place. Mallory moved from San Antonio to Oklahoma to attend OU while Angel moved from San Antonio to Oklahoma to be stationed at Tinker AFB. Introduced by friends, they quickly built a friendship, bonding over their love for God. After a conversation about goals and aspirations, Mallory and Angel began training together for the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. The time spent sweating, crying, and training over the many miles shared sparked an interest between the two that neither saw coming. The first "date, not date" was attending the ballet, Alice in Wonderland. Neither knew they were crushing on the other. It was unspoken until the end of that night. After a conversation about each other's hopes and dreams for the future, it was sealed with a kiss. Angel knew right then and there that he would be proposing to Mallory. When you know, you know. Angel proposed to Mallory on June 11th at Scissortail Park in Oklahoma City.
