Sabrina and Dustin’s journey began at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, where she worked as a waitress and he was an Expo. Their connection started as a friendship, built on shared laughter and a love for life’s simple pleasures. Whether it was soaking up the sun at the beach, exploring local flavors, or dancing the night away at lively bars and nightclubs, they quickly became inseparable, cherishing each moment together.

Dustin secretly packed the engagement ring for their trip to New York, making it a trip he would never forget. It was already such a special moment—both of them experiencing the beauties of the city, while also meeting Dustin's little sister and brother for the very first time. Sabrina’s brother, TJ, who lives in New York (and is also Dustin's best man), knew exactly how to make this trip unforgettable. He took Dustin on a secret tour of the city one day, helping him find the perfect spot to propose, while Sabrina and her mom enjoyed shopping and taking in the sights. Dustin found a place that felt just right, and the next day, he and TJ brought Sabrina to the iconic Central Park. As they walked through the park, TJ and Dustin staged a little "accident." They pretended that TJ had dropped his wallet in a spot they'd visited earlier. TJ ran back to “search” for it, while Dustin and Sabrina continued to walk along the paths. What Sabrina didn’t know, was that TJ had actually rushed back to clear out a crowd of 30+ people lingering in front of the picture perfect lake. TJ returned, asking them for help as he "still" couldn’t find his wallet. When they didn’t spot it, TJ suggested they take a quick picture before leaving to retrace their steps. The backdrop was pure magic—an enchanting lake, surrounded by vibrant autumn leaves. As Dustin held Sabrina’s hands, his heart raced. He dropped to one knee, and in that moment, surrounded by the city’s beauty, everything else faded away. The rest, as they say, is history.
