Garnett and I probably crossed paths 100 times before we officially met. We have always gone to school or worked less than a few miles away from each other. It all started the day he called my job, the bank, and asked to have some statements printed off his account. I was the lucky lady who answered the phone and got to help him out. He had the best country accent, and was so polite over the phone. I printed out his statements and joked with the girls at my job and said, “These statements are for my boyfriend when he comes through.” He came through later that day in the drive through and I knew right when I heard him talk that he was the one who requested the statements. I sent them out in the drive through, we smiled at each other and went about our days. I didn’t think I’d see him much after that, but he would come in every so often and cash checks. Neither one of us had the courage to say anything so we just always had short conversations and were friendly. A few months later we connected on social media and talked there. He asked me to hangout a few times before I finally agreed to a family cookout. I showed up and got to meet him and his family all at the same time, sounds kind of scary but they instantly welcomed me and have treated me like family since that very day. We talked for hours that night in his truck and listened to music and laughed together. We both knew after that day that we definitely had something special between us. We talked on and off for a few months and then finally he asked me to be his girlfriend in November of 2020. After that we were inseparable, we went everywhere and did everything together. He met all my family and friends, and I met all his. We spent every weekend together, and grew so close to each other. Four months later we were doing a photoshoot in Graves Mountain, Syria and he surprised me and asked me to marry him!!!
