It all began in St. Leon, Indiana, at one of Haley’s first jobs — Steve’s Sunoco. She worked the early shift, and every morning like clockwork, Patrick would stop in before work to grab breakfast and drinks for the day. Haley noticed him long before he ever realized, carrying a quiet crush and hoping he’d notice her someday. Eventually, that day came. One night, out of the blue, Patrick added her on Facebook — a moment Haley still remembers vividly. She added him back, and just like that, everything started falling into place. Their first date was on July 26th, 2020, when Patrick took Haley out for Mexican food at Valle Escondidos in Harrison, OH. They talked, laughed, and felt that spark that would only grow stronger. From that day on, they were inseparable, spending nearly every day together until Patrick officially asked her to be his girlfriend on December 1st, 2020. Over the years, they built a life full of love, laughter, and countless memories — from cozy getaways to Gatlinburg, sunny trips to Florida, and visits to Alabama to see Haley’s best friend (and future Matron of Honor). Every adventure brought them closer and made their bond even stronger. Then, just before the 5 year anniversary of Patrick asking Haley to be his girlfriend, he got down on one knee on November 30th, 2025, and asked her to be his wife. It was a moment she’ll never forget, marking the beginning of their next beautiful chapter. Now, with hearts full of excitement (and a countdown officially underway), they are beyond ready to say “I do.” Come on September, we’re getting married!
