We met how all great couples meet - in the back of a car on the way to float the river (wait, is that not how everyone meets?). It was the summer before senior year and my friend (and now bridesmaid!) were invited to float the San Marcos river with some friends we'd known for most of college. I hopped in the back seat of an SUV and turned around to find Jeff sitting in the trunk. Excited to make a new friend - how did I not know this guy? - I automatically introduced myself. According to Jeff, it was love at first sight. I was of course completely oblivious to this, but had fun with Jeff and even rode back to Austin in the trunk as well. A few months later, we started dating after he asked me out at the first UT football game of the season. After graduation, Jeff moved home to Dallas while I stayed in Austin. We had a few years of long distance, but he ultimately caved and moved back to Austin, much to my delight! After spending 6 months of the pandemic in a one bedroom apartment downtown, we decided to join my parents and sister in Michigan for a Labor Day getaway. Jeff and my family sneakily concocted a whole plan for the weekend, and on a visit to Dow Gardens, Jeff asked me to marry him - I obviously agreed! We are so happy to include you on the next chapter of our story. Get excited, by March 26th you will be #hookedonthebrooks!
