Bailey and Canaan’s story has a humble and slightly embarrassing beginning. Bailey thought Canaan was the bee’s knees ever since she first laid eyes on him. After a couple years of admiring him from afar, they spoke their first words over a soda machine at Mansfield High School. Bailey was a quarter short for that diet sweet tea she was eyeing, and Canaan kindly helped her out. After this short exchange, Bailey enlisted in the help of a friend to track down Canaan and let him know a "little birdy" heard Bailey was interested. Much to Bailey’s surprise, Canaan sent her a Facebook message that night to ask her on her first date ever (!). The rest was history. Bailey and Canaan became an “official couple” on March 25, 2013. The two then went on to attend the same college together at Missouri S&T and both graduated with degrees in engineering. They now reside in their first home together in St. Louis. The two are excited to celebrate their 6+ year love story with you on June 20, 2020 and can’t wait for the many years to come.

After almost 6 years of dating, Canaan finally proposed! He picked out the perfect ring on April 19th. Just a day later, he popped the question at 7:30 AM in their new kitchen on their move-in day.
