They met as all modern romances do, through a dating app. They went to a coffee shop on their first date. They both came with a plan to read their respective books together in comfortable silence. They had every intention of following through with it if Jake hadn't lied about enjoying reading and Keeley hadn't lied about enjoying silence. Instead, Jake taught Keeley to play chess, which she just happened to "win" every time. He didn't spare her ego when it came to Monopoly and Jenga, though. Despite the initial awkwardness and the great reading lie of 2022, they both knew there was something special. And here we are, proving that even a silent reading date gone hilariously wrong can lead to a lifetime of love and laughter!"

Everyone knows Keeley is a master detective when it comes to surprises. Seriously, hiding anything from her is like trying to sneak a cat into a dog show – impossible. So, when Jake decided it was time to pop the question, he knew he had to pull out all the stops. He started by setting the stage for a perfectly ordinary day. A "girls' day out" with her good friend, Emily. Brunch, bookstore browsing, a pampering nail salon trip, and finally, a relaxing read by their favorite lake. It was, in essence, Keeley's ideal day, carefully crafted to lull her into a false sense of security. To add to the illusion, Jake had been very vocal about his "busy day" at the hospital, emphasizing the long hours and impossible patients. Little did she know, while she was sipping mimosas and picking out nail polish, Jake was orchestrating a covert operation. He'd enlisted their closest friends to secure the coveted lakeside reading spot. This wasn't a gentle "please move along" situation. Oh no, this was a strategic campaign of lighthearted bullying designed to ensure the area was completely deserted. "You're sitting too close to the water, you'll get splashed!" and "This is a private reading spot for a very important person!" were just a few of the creative tactics employed. Meanwhile, a drone buzzed overhead, capturing the entire scene, and a hidden photographer waited patiently, ready to immortalize the moment. Keeley and Emily sat at the perfect bench, reading along, when Jake appeared with flowers. (Totally not at work) The shock was palpable. Keeley was completely and utterly blindsided. Her first words, a mix of disbelief and playful accusation, were a resounding, "You big liar!" After all, he had been so insistent that he would be at the hospital all day and that a proposal was still far off. But as the realization sunk in, "you big liar" quickly turned into a resounding "yes". It was a perfect proposal, a testament to Jake's determination. They proved that even the most perceptive person can be caught off guard by love. And now, they're ready to embark on their greatest adventure together. If you ask Keeley, they were as good as engaged in the Oklahoma City Animal Shelter lobby when they said "I do" to a 115-lb "little guy" named Bear. And, yes, Jake totally did lie.

Keeley, a true lover of stories, can often be found lost in the pages of a good book or meticulously organizing life's details in a well-crafted spreadsheet. And let's not forget Bear, their beloved dog, who is always up for a cuddle. Jake, when he's not busy working in the ER or diligently preparing for medical school, can be found rolling dice with his D&D crew. While he playfully pretends to share Keeley's passion for reading (mostly to win her over!), his love for her and their furry companion, Bear, is undeniably genuine. Together, Keeley and Jake have built a life filled with laughter, shared adventures (both real and imagined!), and endless love for their four-legged family member. They are incredibly excited to celebrate their commitment to each other with all of you.
