It all started back in high school — Trey was the funny football player, a junior with a grin that could get away with anything, and Becca was a skeptical freshman who wasn’t so easily convinced. Trey was persistent, though, and after one date, things just… clicked. We met each other’s families, and before long, we both fell in love twice — once with each other, and once with each other’s families. When Trey first asked Becca to be his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day 2016, she said no (she had her reasons — who wants their anniversary on Valentine’s Day?). Four days later, he asked again, and this time she said yes. Every year since, Trey has sent her flowers with a note that says, “X years ago, I asked you to be my girlfriend and you said no.” In 2020, we moved into our first home together. Becca was in nursing school (thanks, COVID), decided she needed a dog, and somehow ended up with the hairiest one possible — a German Shepherd named Remi — despite being allergic to dogs. In 2023, we added Colt, a goofy golden retriever who taught us patience and gave us endless stories to laugh about. Then, on a Caribbean cruise in November 2024, after a few drinks and a perfect beach day, Trey got down on one knee. Becca’s first words were, “Did you ask my dad?” (He did.) They laughed, and then she said yes. Now, all these years later, we can’t wait to start the next chapter — surrounded by family, friends, and a few dog hairs.
