On a warm August evening in Tulsa, Oklahoma, two busy young professionals met for a drink. Both weary of the dating game and fresh off a string of terrible, soul-crushing first dates, they tentatively sat down for “one” cautious cocktail after swiping right on Bumble. Little did they know that one cocktail would turn into several, and their shy banter would turn into deep connection and eventually blossom into something real . Over the last few years they’ve traveled, explored, ate great food, raised a dog-child, remodeled their house, integrated their lives, and built an truly meaningful story together. After months of careful planning and some playful and crafty deception, on Dec 23rd, 2020, Jeremiah planned a proposal disguised as a Christmas lights tour. Typically, the Lowrys head to Silver Dollar City this time of year to celebrate all things Christmas, but with the pandemic in full swing, that wasn’t an option for this year. So Jeremiah suggested a new tradition - a tour of the Tulsa Botanic Gardens. With the family fully briefed on the plan, and with champagne in tow, they walked around enjoying the lights, they sipped on some hot toddies, and tried to keep warm since it was literally 15 degrees outside that night… After a fun frigid tour, they stopped at the bottom of a beautiful Christmas display and Jeremiah suggested that they stop for a picture. Little did Kyle know that the family would clear the way and that a photographer was hiding in the wings to capture a different kind of moment - a proposal! Jeremiah knelt down and proposed, and Kyle screamed “YES!” before Jeremiah even had the chance to ask. :) We are so excited to get married, and we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you!
