In 2019, Becca was on the lookout for a “church boy.” Her friend Kennedy—who also happens to be Hayden’s cousin—set the two of them up. That summer, on June 26, Hayden sent Becca a simple Instagram message: “How’s life?” Little did they know, it was the start of something lasting. Through all of high school, they celebrated their first, second, third, and fourth anniversaries. When college began, they prepared to be three hours apart, but God had a different plan—leading them both to APU. There, their relationship only grew stronger. Six years later, Hayden planned a surprise that Becca will truly never forget. On June 18, Hayden “kidnapped” Becca from the desert and took her to Azusa to kick off a couple days of surprises. The next morning, June 19, he woke her up with coffee and told her to get ready. They grabbed breakfast and stopped by a cute spot in Pasadena before Hayden surprised her with horseback riding in the Hollywood Hills. After riding, Hayden told Becca to go to sleep in the car because they were heading “home.” About an hour later, she woke up… in Malibu. Hayden had taken her to Point Dume, where they hiked up the cliffs overlooking the ocean. There, with the water stretching out below them, Hayden got down on one knee and asked Becca to marry him. Afterward, they celebrated with dinner at a rooftop bar while watching the sunset. And just when the night couldn’t get any more perfect, dessert came out—and God sent dolphins swimming by in the water below them. When they finally got home, Becca’s best friend had decorated her room with photos and balloons, all set up by Hayden. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day—one Becca says she will relive forever. Now, their story continues, and their dreams are coming true.
