One hot summer night, after a few too many drinks and an intense FBI-level investigation into a friend’s Facebook profile, the bride made a grave mistake—she accidentally sent a friend request to the groom. Panic set in. The damage was done. Instead of deleting her entire social media existence and moving to another country (as any rational person would consider), she decided to DM him to apologize. And, well… turns out, he wasn’t mad about it. In fact, they couldn’t stop talking. After some serious deliberation (and probably way too much overthinking), they decided to meet in person. Spoiler alert: it went really well. Soon enough, deep pillow-talk convos led to declarations of “You’re the one,” and casual mentions of “someday when we get married…” became a regular thing. Then came the big moment—except, plot twist—the bride beat him to it. On her favorite holiday, July 4th, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Picture this: atop the slides at the infamous WaterWorks Park, fireworks lighting up the night sky, she popped the question. The groom, obviously said yes (because, let’s be real, who could say no to that kind of proposal?). And now, here we are. In love, happy, and ready to make it official in front of all our favorite people.
