How We Met

We met on the last day of freshman (Desi) and sophomore (Ben) year of high school. We were introduced by a mutual friend that had known both of us for a long time. We didn't spend a lot of time talking to each other, other than a "Hi, how are you?" Shortly after that, we realized our younger brothers were best friends and we lived only 5 minutes away from each other. We spent the majority of that summer hanging out and playing Magic The Gathering. When we weren't together we had a continuous game of 20 questions going over text. Little did we know that we were falling for each other fast. About 3 1/2 months later, Ben had asked Desi to formally be his girlfriend over a cheesy text. The rest from there is history!

The Proposal

Ben proposed to Desi on September 22 of 2018 while they were out celebrating their 4 year anniversary. The night started out with dinner at Cowboy Jack's. Desi could tell something was up, because Ben was quiet and fidgety during dinner. After dinner, they went to a Lee Brice concert featuring Trailer Choir. It was a ton of fun and someone that both, Ben and Desi wanted to see. Lee Brice was special to both, Ben and Desi because he was the artist that sang their song, "Hard 2 Love" which is one of the songs that was played during the night. Right after Lee Brice finished performing "Hard 2 Love" Ben turned Desi around and proposed to her. She said yes with tears running down her cheeks. The rest of the concert was spent in shakey disbelief that everything was so perfect.
