Tristan and I met in Yankton, SD at the Walnut Bar on May 18th, 2019, the day before he turned 21. Tristan was out celebrating with his friends and family and I was out with a friend from nursing school and a friend from high school, when somehow we met eyes and then started talking. (Tristan actually wanted me to meet his parents the night we met ;) ) Tristan and I, along with our friends all took a shot (or two) together, had some good laughs, and danced the night away. We hung out the next day together and pretty much every day thereafter. On July 7th, 2019, Tristan and I were out in the Black Hills and that's where we decided to put a title to our relationship. I could finally tell people he was my boyfriend, ha! I think we both agree that our relationship was something special from the very beginning. Fast forward a year and a half, on November 25th (my birthday) I came home to the sweetest proposal. Tristan had a bouquet of roses, rose pedals on the floor, a sign that asked, "will you marry me?" and the ring sitting next to it. Of course, I said yes right away! That night, we got to celebrate with our family and friends. We couldn't be more excited to do the same on the day we say, "I do!" We are so excited to see everyone we love come together to celebrate our own special love. See you September 25th. :)
