The adventure started with an online dating match. Brooke and Hayden decided to meet in person for the first time at a restaurant in San Antonio named Hofbrau in February of 2016. After shaking the nerves off, they bonded over a bowl of fried pickles and a bottle of Shiner Bock. They quickly fell in love with one another going on hiking trips, fishing and outdoor adventures. Before they knew it, 2 years had passed by and Hayden decided it was time to put a ring on it. Before popping the question, Hayden asked Brooke's mother for her blessing in the summer of 2017. After receiving her blessing, Hayden planned a spontaneous cruise for September of 2017. Hayden popped the question to Brooke during a cruise excursion on a beach in Roatan, Honduras. Brooke was speechless and crying tears of joy so she shook her head yes repeatedly. Since the cruise, Hayden and Brooke continued growing their love for one another and strengthening their relationship.
