Shane and I met in high school choir, we stood next to each other for almost a year and never said more than a few words to each other. It wasn't until the fall of 2012 when we were cast as the Von Trapp brothers in our school production of "The Sound of Music" that we began to talk. From that moment on we became friends and started hanging out frequently in a group with other musical/choir kids. That Christmas break, we began hanging out alone and realized that there was something special there. We began dating January 12, 2013 and have been growing and learning together ever since. I went to college at the University of North Texas in the fall of 2013 and Shane came the next year. We completed college by each other's sides and Shane proposed on May 13, 2017 at my graduation party surrounded by friends and family.
