We are tying the Knot!

Derek and I met when I was attending Texas State University. He was living and working in San Marcos at the time. We first started talking on a dating app. On our first date, we went to see the movie “Zootopia” then went for ice cream afterwards. Everything felt natural at first and up until this point. We quickly became best friends and now we are getting married!

Derek proposed to me on Christmas Day. After a fun and eventful day at the Drakes’, we headed outside to take our annual family photos. Derek then approached me and told me to close my eyes. When he told me to open them up, he had the exact ring that I wanted in his hand. I was overjoyed and so thankful! I cannot wait to be Mrs. Hicks!
