When Whitney and Sean first met, the energy was palpable. Even though Whitney was late to their first date. They quickly realized how much they had in common, from books and sports to whiskey and travel. And their competitive sides really came out on date #2 at Whiskey Hatchet (axe throwing).... we'll let you guess who won that. There were two milestones that really solidified that this was a force to be reckoned with. First, Sean had to survive his first encounter with Bella. But he passed with flying colors and Bella quickly became a fan. The second was a month into their dating when DFW got hit with a snowstorm and Whitney lost power for a few days and had to temporarily move in with someone she'd only been dating for a few weeks, only to find out they didn't get sick of each other and enjoyed each others company. As the months went on, the dates piled up and they became "official" after a long walk home from downtown after both their phones died (Sean blames Whitney for this, for the record). And after this, they never looked back. They quickly became each other's rock - creating a supportive, caring relationship built on understanding and a mutual love of each other, and Bella. In September of 2023, after months of delaying getting his passport renewed, Sean took Whitney to his favorite place in the world - Ireland. They had an amazing adventure that included a trip out to the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare, where after hiking off the beaten path, Sean proposed, and Whitney accepted. They now cannot wait to have their closest family and friends with them in Texas for their wedding celebration, and to start the next chapter of their lives together.
