We met in the most Texan way possible—At a dancehall in Stephenville, TX. I was actually there with the guy I was dating at the time, and Justin just had to steal me away! He asked me to dance, and now we will be dance partners forever!
Justin had just finished his Masters degree and was planning on walking at the graduation ceremony on May 18th, 2019. He even talked my family into coming all the way to Arizona to see him graduate and be apart of the party. We had planned a big graduation party and end of the year soccer party for his girls club team that was going to be at one of the family’s houses. He went in front of the whole party and began his “thank you” speech to the parents and assistant coaches. When he asked me to come to the front with him, I knew something was about to happen. Sure enough, he pointed behind me to four of his players who were holding signs that read out “Will you marry me?”. I looked back, and he was on one knee holding the ring. I couldn’t even form the word “yes”, I was so excited! What a great surprise and an amazing day to celebrate so many things! I was completely fooled into thinking this party was all about him, but he had other plans!
