It was a normal Saturday night at BV just before baseball and softball seasons got into full swing. Brooke and her friends decided to check out a suite they didn’t usually frequent, but they decided to give it a try that night. As per usual, drinking games were being played and Brooke was playing. Out of the blue, someone walks into the room with a Giant Unicorn Head on. This person sits next to Brooke and proceeds to have a conversation. This turned into a whole night of jokes, laughter, and getting to know each other. From that night on, the rest is history. And yes, the guy with the unicorn head on was Peyton.

Patience is one of Peyton’s strong suites. This was the key to the proposal. We moved into our house on May 14, with the help of both our families. For two days we were making trips, painting, and organizing. After everyone had left, we were sitting and soaking in the fact we had just bought a house. We were tired, hungry, and emotionally exhausted from the weekend. As we were getting ready to head out to grab food, Brooke, being the sarcastic person in the relationship was giving Peyton a hard time about needing something sparkly on her finger to make up for her nails that had been ruined during the move. Peyton decided that it was time to ask, so he says “well you really want it?” Confused, Brooke watched Peyton walk to the bedroom and grab something. Before she knew it, he was on one knee and she was shocked. After saying yes, she found out he had been keeping it a secret since October. As his family said it, “It was about dang time”. The patience he had to make sure he could ask Brooke’s parents was so worth it. It couldn’t have been more perfect!
