This is our first picture together! Taken on our second date. We filled water balloons with paint and threw darts to make some very professional grade art.

For our third date, we drove to Dallas to see one of Hayden's favorite bands, Bad Books. On the way back home, he told me he liked me and I returned the sentiment, :)

The weekend before H asked me to be his girlfriend, we rode around downtown Tulsa on Birds (my first time!) and had a blast together.

On my 2 year work anniversary at ICS, Hayden sent me flowers. The first time a man (besides my dad) had bought me flowers!

This was our first OSU game together! At the game, Megan took him aside and asked him what his intentions were with me and he told her he intended to marry me.

The night I told Hayden I loved him for the first time! Clearly, Junie B. has always loved her future dad. :)

Early on in dating, Hayden expressed it was important for him to take me on special dates (or as I like to call them, fancy dates) every so often. This is a-okay with me as I love getting dressed up!

This was H's last day at FBC Wagoner as the student pastor. He was there for almost 3 years and was very beloved!

Something you might not know is that Hayden volunteered at my work on Saturday mornings! He is an A+ volunteer, even if I am a little biased.

This was the first time I ever got to hear H preach! It was at FBC Checotah where his dad is the Senior Pastor (H used to be Student Pastor) and I received an unexpected but wonderful warm welcome! :)

OSU Homecoming 2019! This was a super fun weekend. I got to show H my favorite Stilly restaurant, the infamous Granny's Kitchen!

In October, we participated in an ALS fundraising walk in Tulsa with H's family! His incredible mom, Debbie, has ALS and is such an inspiration to everyone in her life, especially to us.

You probably know that we are devoted dog parents to Dion and Junie B. This was Junie B.'s costume themed 1st birthday party at the Midtown Mutts dog park in OKC.

H used to help out with the live stream and video board at the Wagoner HS football games, so I got the prime view with him in the press box every home game.

This was our first wedding together! Who knew less than a year later, we'd be having our own wedding?! ;)

Thanksgiving 2019, our first one together! We had 3 Thanksgivings, it was crazy but so fun to be with both of our families!

This was after a week of me having a nasty case of the flu and H took care of me so well. We love each other, even if we have differing opinions in chicken.

This was in December at H's youngest sister Hunter's wedding! It was such a fun wedding and I couldn't keep my eyes off this handsome guy, I mean, can you blame me?!? *major heart eyes*

Our first Christmas together! Little did I know he was about to pop the question two days later!

In Branson, right before the proposal!

"Emily, will you marry me?" "YES!!!"

Pure joy!

My favorite picture of the day. :)

Future Mr. and Mrs. Dennis!!!
