We're Getting Married!

How We Met & First Impressions P: We met at SAGU during my last semester, even though we shared the exact same friend groups and somehow never met. When I introduced myself, everyone thought we were joking. I first thought she had red hair and I also thought, "How could I have gone this long in this conversation without introducing myself to this beautiful girl?" I quickly learned that Emily is one of the most genuine, caring, beautiful, and Spirit-filled people that I have ever met. E: i went to our college's student center to get lunch and saw this random guy talking to my friends. he introduced himself to me and later that night, those same friends confessed that Preston wanted to take me out and were going to give him my number so we could connect. the next day we went on the best and most fun date i've ever been on!! the excitement i felt getting ready for that night hasn't changed and i still feel that way anytime i get to be with him. How We Decided on Forever 
P: Being with Emily felt natural from the start, so there wasn’t a single moment, just everything feeling right. Over time, I knew I wanted a family with her, especially seeing her heart and feeling proud to eventually being her husband. E: there wasn’t a defining moment, it was all the little ones that added up together. in joy, grief, and some major challenges, we chose each other, and i’d still choose Preston every time. The Proposal E: i had a feeling it would happen, but didn’t want to overwhelm myself haha. a “graduation party” trick led me to the Texas Discovery Garden’s where everything happened. my favorite moment was sharing a couple minutes alone at one of our favorite coffee spots! P: The proposal felt like a blur, but I remember changing spots because of a broken fountain (thankfully for better photos) and reading Emily the speech I forgot to say at a coffee shop we both love to go to. What We Love About Us E: i’m so excited to spend forever with my bestie!! we complement each other in the way that Preston plans for the future, while i take things moment by moment; we balance each other out perfectly!! P: One of my favorite things is how we plan our dates: it always includes an activity, fried pickles, pizza, Diet Coke, and a sweet treat.
