Dain and Emily’s story began in October 2022 with their first date at a mini golf course, where they instantly connected. As they continued spending time together, each date brought them closer. One moment that stood out was during their second outing, when they stumbled upon a vendor selling wooden roses. Neither of them had planned for it, but Emily happened to be the only one carrying cash. Without hesitation, she bought herself a small bouquet. That simple, spontaneous gesture left a lasting impression on Dain. In that moment, he realized she was someone truly special. Their relationship officially began on January 1, 2023, marking the start of a love story they’ve been writing ever since. After two years and four months of growing together, Dain asked Emily to spend forever with him. On May 24, 2025, he surprised her with a proposal during a couples' photo session on a quiet, secluded bank of the Salt River. It was the perfect beginning to the next chapter of their beautiful journey together.
