There they were. First day of Kindergarten at Lincoln Elementary School. Newton Kansas. 1995. Boy sees girl. Girl is to nervous to see anybody. Boy falls in love with girl. They spent all of their primary years growing up and attending school together. Many years later in 2016, Manuel sends Malory a FB message. "How's life going?" Malory responded "Great! Moving to Ireland in a few months!" Manuel responded "I'd love to take you to dinner and hear all about it." Fast forward a few more years and here they are now. Living their happily ever after.
Manuel had told Malory that they were going to have a date night after she got off work on Saturday. He said he had to meet with some engineers for a project he was working and would then be home to pick her up. (He had secretly met with her mother and step father to ask for her hand instead.) Malory is none the wiser and heads home to get ready. Manuel arrives and they get in the car and head to Wichita. He takes her to Texas Roadhouse (where they had their first date) for dinner. Then he takes her over to Keeper of the Plains to walk the bridge and relax. Upon walking across the bridge on the way back to the car they stop and look over the edge into the water. Manuel wraps his arms around Malory and she whispers to him "Honey, promise you'll marry me someday?" As she turns around right after saying that, she sees Manuel down on one knee and says "I Promise. I wanted to propose to you on bridge because of how beautiful they are to me. There is always an in and an out. And no matter what we get in to life together, we can always get out of it together. Will you marry me?" The answer was obviously YES!
