For those of you who have been on this multi-year journey with us, we can all safely agree the past few years have been ones for the record books. This includes our love story, chalk-a-block full of daring moments, changed outlooks, unique new perspectives, fortitude and redemption. With this, we look forward to sharing in the culmination of many things, with the solidification of our love at the center. See you in Austin!
A rare, frigid night in Austin; a dimmed room near the hallowed Capitol grounds; slow, decades-old country music hummed on the juke box. I was staring a handsome Naval engineer down over an old oak countertop as we traded anecdotes and sipped whiskey. The bar tender joked with us that, if we were patient, we'd see a ghost or two in the mirrors of the Cloak Room. A ghost he was not, but instead a clean cut, blue-eyed boy in a stately blazer and undone bow tie decorated in hunting dogs. He joined our presence with his date and we all got to talking - two tempestuous, bright-eyed brunette women that wanted to dance the week's business away and two dapper, work-oriented men, eager to trade tales. A half hour and several conversations with the ghosts later, Ross and I formally met. Our counterparts took note of our chemistry and shared in their own. Ross took two of my quarters and two of his own and put them in the jukebox. Without a word from me, he picked Johnny Cash & George Jones songs, asked for my hand and let my flowing dress shimmer in the candlelight as he spun me 'round. That was the beginning of our love story.
