We met at a party in 2013. After introducing ourselves and getting to know each other for a bit, we decided to take ourselves out on the dance floor. Unfortunately, once we started to dance, the DJ began to play the worst music we had ever heard, so we headed right back to the piano bench where our night first started. Once we made it back to campus, we spent the next four hours sitting outside our dorm rooms talking and laughing. Finally, at around 4 AM, we shared the world's most awkward side hug, exchanged phone numbers, and the rest is history!
The week leading up to our engagement, we spent our time trying out different restaurants and new things to do in Fort Worth. On August 7th, we decided to head out to one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in town. The mariachi band we always see serenaded us while we drank the best margaritas, and we enjoyed the food almost as much as we enjoyed each other's company. After eating dinner, we decided to head to TCU for the first time in four years. We stopped by the football stadium and reminisced on all the memories shared there. Afterward, we walked through the "commons" and returned to our freshman dorms. We sat outside Isabella's dorm at the same bench we hung out at night we first met. Devin decided to take a stroll down memory lane, reminding us of where we started and where we are now; College graduations, first jobs, second jobs, first pup, second pup, buying a house, getting promoted, supporting each other's dreams, fun/spontaneous vacations, the highs, the lows, and everything in between. We eventually made our way back down the commons, underneath the string lights, when Devin began telling me how much he loved and slowly got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! In between a "yes" and "finally" he slipped the most beautiful ring on my finger and here we are planning our wedding!
