On a February afternoon in 2023, I was enjoying my regularly scheduled haircut from my good friend and stylist, Abby Membrano, AKA “British Abby" for the sake of the story. After hearing another one of my recently-failed dating stories, British Abby perked up and said "hey, you should meet my friend, Josh!” Josh wasn't on social media, so British Abby sent Josh a group picture of me and just said "Red dress. She's expecting your call." After a phone call and a few dates, we quickly began to realize that we might have finally found The Real Deal. And just one month later over Dallas’s best breakfast Migas & mediocre coffee, Josh asked me to be his girlfriend... and 16 months later in the middle of a Costa Rican thunderstorm, he asked me to be his wife.
