Let me set the scene, it's a hot June night in the GIANT town of Commerce, TX. Taylor is out with the boys and Riley is out with the girls. Our nights intervene at the local brewery, Little Bit of Country. Taylor and the boys are playing pool, Riley and the girls are acting like pool pros. A few drinks and lots of words later.... We parted ways, unimpressed and sworn enemies with each other.

January 1, 2023. The first big yes; "Will you be my girlfriend?" To say the nerves weren't high, would be a lie. Taylor planned a beautiful date to Enchated in Dallas. Taylor and Riley ate food, went ice skating (to which Riley fell on the ice), walked the park, and had lots of laughs. To end the perfect date, Taylor took Riley to the lookout over the park and started off our relationship in the best way.

May 27, 2023. After 9 weeks of raising puppies, it was time for Lisa Josey to come into town to retrieve her sweetest angel, Silvia Rene. With the arrival of Lisa, there was the plan of "family photos" to fill her home with beautiful pictures of her future daughter-in-law. ;) The day of "pictures" was an ordinary day spent with food from Tamollys and shopping. With that being said, anyone that knows Riley, knows that keeping a secret from her is not an easy accomplishment. Pictures were set to be taken at 4pm. However, at 3:30pm, Taylor comes up with the need to leave early to get a collar from Atwood's for Silvia. While suspicion grew, it was not until Riley saw the beautiful greenhouse and Taylor standing in front that it was apparent these pictures were not just for the family. Taylor got down on one knee and said the four worded question that has gathered us to this website today. "Will you marry me?"
