On New Years Eve going into 2020, Preston had attended a family friend's annual NYE Party in Arizona. Even though Emily was not there, her mom had managed to take videos of all the "cute, young, men" and send them to her. 2 years later at that same NYE Party going into 2022, they had met for the first time in person. A few days later Preston had messaged Emily saying how nice it was to meet her in person and hoped to see her again soon. Come April of 2022 Emily was off on a plane to Colorado for their first date. They did long distance for a year, flying back and forth seeing each other. In July of 2023 Preston moved back to Arizona so they could be together. Fast forward six months later they got engaged December 10, 2023.
