It all started with one too many drinks and a well-meaning friend who had just enough liquid courage to play matchmaker. One night, a mutual friend of Conner and Bethany’s decided it was time they met. From the very beginning, Bethany took matters into her own hands. She didn’t wait for Conner to ask her out. Instead, she made the first move, asking him to dinner. Conner, a true gentleman, showed up exactly as expected: cowboy boots, lifted truck, and all the charm that would make any woman swoon. But it wasn’t just his boots that won her over—it was the way he treated her. She knew from that first date he was the one. Their connection was instant. From that night on, they were inseparable, building a life full of adventures and shared experiences. Whether they were going to rodeos, hitting the trails on off-road adventures, or staying active at the gym, they made time for each other and for their beloved dog, Tank. Every moment spent together only deepened their bond. Two years later, Conner and Bethany planned a special getaway to the Bahamas to celebrate their anniversary. However, what was supposed to be a sun-soaked beach vacation didn’t quite go according to plan. As the rain poured down on their beachside paradise, Bethany’s frustration was palpable. But Conner, ever the romantic, wasn’t deterred. He knew this was the perfect moment for something extraordinary. In the middle of the deserted beach, with the sound of the waves crashing around them, Conner got down on one knee. Surprised and completely caught off guard, Bethany said “yes.” The rain didn’t matter; it was the most perfect moment for them, and she couldn’t have said yes faster. And so, on December 29th, Conner asked Bethany to be his forever, and she couldn’t be happier.
