We had mutual friends in high school, and Aly played on a basketball team with some of my friends. We both had crushes on each other but never spoke—just a lot of missed chances. Fast forward to after college, when my cousin (one of Aly's best friends) decided to play matchmaker. She got us talking, and soon after, Aly slid into my DMs. Our first date was magic—eight hours of laughter, deep conversation, and realizing we'd been missing out all this time. It was love at first sight, and from then on, everything just clicked. Then, on our anniversary trip to Cabo, Aly surprised me with a proposal. A few months later, I proposed to Aly at a Dallas Mavs game. We were showered with love and support from everyone around us, and it felt like the perfect moment to start the next chapter together. And here we are, ready for forever. #ItsGamezTime
