Evan and Savannah met in the spring of 2016, during their freshman year of high school, where Evan had just transferred. Evan remembers talking after school during football practice, but Savannah doesn't remember that. Both agree that sparks flew when they sat next to each other in geography class when Evan needed "help" studying. Evan fell first and was persistent in his pursuit, even offering to take Savannah to a Justin Bieber concert, with a little help from their mutual friend, Landon Lipp. On April 8, 2016, it became official when Evan took Savannah to his favorite park and asked her to be his girlfriend at sunset. Evan and Savannah continued to date throughout all of high school and even conquered long distance in college. They made a point to try and see each other every week or two and discovered many interesting (and slightly sketchy) Mexican restaurants between Waco and Stephenville when they met halfway. Sometimes the distance was even more difficult, such as when Savannah interned in Washington, D.C., and when Evan worked nights for a drilling company in west Texas. Although it was challenging, it was never a doubt in either of their minds any time together was a gift. Evan and Savannah have many cherished memories together. In 2021, on the way to one of their favorite places, Canton Trade Days, Evan and Savannah quite literally had their beloved lab, Pancho, fall into their lap. In 2022, things began to get more serious as the pair began to think about the next steps. Evan popped the big question on May 20, 2022, during a sweet and romantic surprise trip to Ham's Orchard, as they both love mini road trips, farms, and good BBQ. Evan said he "could not wait another day" to pop the question, much to Savannah's delight. Evan and Savannah will have been together for over seven years when they tie the knot on June 1, 2023, and cannot wait for the rest of their lives together!
