Nathan and I first met during our senior year at Abilene Christian University, thanks to our mutual friend Bryson, who introduced us. What started as casual hangouts quickly turned into something special. Our first official date was at Miguel’s mexican restaurant in Abilene, where we instantly clicked. Just a few weeks later, on February 18, 2023, Nathan asked me to be his girlfriend. He planned the sweetest evening—taking me out to eat, then bringing me to a beautiful outdoor spot where he surprised me with my favorite wine from The Mill and a bouquet of flowers. Of course, I said yes! That spring, we graduated together and embarked on a new chapter, moving back to DFW to start our careers. Life moved fast, and by September 2023, we had bought our first home together. Exactly one year after we made our relationship official, on February 18, 2024, Nathan completely surprised me with the most magical proposal. He took me to Flippen Park, where he got down on one knee and asked me to spend forever with him. The surprises didn’t stop there—he then took me to eat at Reunion Tower and ended the day with a surprise engagement party surrounded by our closest friends and family. Now, we’re beyond excited to be planning our wedding. We can't wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
