It all started on December 11, 2022, a day that would mark the beginning of something beautiful. Aubrianna and Dylan were both a little nervous, excited, and hopeful as they met for their first date at Westgate in Glendale, AZ. The plan was simple: a quick brunch to get to know each other. Neither of them expected the date to go on for five hours. The conversation flowed easily as they shared stories, laughter, and those little moments of connection that you only find when you're with someone who you've known for years. Time flew by, with each passing hour making them more comfortable and engaged. The way their personalities meshed—Aubrianna’s warmth and Dylan’s easygoing nature—felt like it had been years in the making. As the days turned into weeks and weeks into months, Aubrianna and Dylan continued to build a connection that felt like it had been written in the stars. Each date, and every conversation, only deepened their bond making them realize that they had found something truly rare. What began as a simple first date blossomed into a beautiful relationship filled with love, laughter, and memories that neither would ever forget.

On November 15th, 2024, Aubrianna had been planning Dylan's birthday weekend. Having everything mapped out starting with a relaxing massage in the morning, followed by a nice dinner in the evening. Wanting the day to be perfect, a gift of relaxation and celebration. Dylan had one specific request: "Be ready by 4:15," making it clear that they needed to leave on time to make it to their reservation. Aubrianna was ready at 4:10 but Dylan was nowhere near prepared. He was sitting on the bed, fiddling with his phone, trying to look busy. 4:15 passed, then 4:20, and finally, Dylan stood up, and was ready to go. They left the room and made their way to the hotel lobby, Dylan paused and turned to her and said "Hey, I was thinking... Let's walk around the hotel for a bit. I want to check something out." Reluctantly, due to the heals she was wearing, agreed and followed him as they wandered through the resort. Passing the pool, the lush gardens, and eventually arriving at a quiet, secluded spot. A small area that overlooked a pond. Dylan stopped at the edge of the pond, peering into the water with a focused expression. Aubrianna, sensing something was a little off, asked "What are you doing?" with Dylan responding "I'm looking for fish". Aubrianna began staring into the pond as well, afterall it is his birthday. After a few seconds, Aubrianna turned to tell Dylan that there are no fish in the pond, and there he was ... Down on one knee, holding a little box in his hands.
