Hayden and Brianna's journey unfolded during a youth mission trip. An immediate connection sparked, and while a silent crush lingered between them, the fear of disrupting their newfound friendship kept them at arm's length. Throughout the week-long trip, they engaged in deep conversations, playfully dance battled, shared laughter, and made a heartfelt promise to remain a significant part of each other's lives forever!

Hayden, in a mumbled confession, spilled the words, "I really like you and want to take you on a date." Brianna, eager and thrilled, said yes! The excitement hit her so suddenly that, in a moment of delightful chaos, she found herself having a panic attack and running a stop sign—too overwhelmed to process the unexpected joy of the sweet, spontaneous moment.

On their first date, Hayden and Brianna played disc golf and went to town on some delicious hamburgers. Hayden's nerves, however, got the best of him, and he literally ran into the parking garage wall with his car! The tale goes that every time they park in the Century Square garage, Brianna can't help but offer the humorous reminder for Hayden to steer clear of any walls!

Following their date and numerous cozy movie nights, Hayden and Brianna decided to make it official, formally becoming boyfriend and girlfriend!

While Brianna dedicated her time to working at summer camp, Hayden made the trek to Austin every weekend to steal a few precious hours with her. On July 3rd, Hayden told Brianna he loved her and had every intent of marrying her one day. Brianna reciprocated and they truly have lived happily ever after.

After patiently waiting for the right moment, Hayden finally popped the question to Brianna at the very place where their love story began. The air was filled with giggles and an endless exchange of hugs, creating a moment where their hearts seemed ready to burst with sheer joy. Following this unforgettable proposal, they headed to their engagement party, where the celebration continued, marked by laughter and shared happiness with their closest people.
