We met at a mutual friend's apartment when we were still in our early years of college in January 2008. That night we only spoke a few words but both knew there could be something more there in the future. We connected a few days later and that's when we had our first date and the rest is history! We got engaged in February 2016 at Zilker Park in Austin, Tx. It was a huge surprise, thinking that we were having a day where Brianna called all the shots to celebrate her birthday so I did everything she wanted without questioning it (which is not the way things usually happen!). We went to Zilker because that is one of our favorite places to lay around and enjoy all things Austin. It was sprinkling out so we had our blanket under a tree. With tear filled eyes and an amazingly gorgeous ring in hand she proposed and I SAID YES! WHOO! :) Afterwards the surprises continued as we entered a restaurant for lunch reservations and in the back party room she had brought together our families to celebrate with us. It was the most wonderful day of our lives <3
