I’ve always known Donnie as my older brothers best friend and maybe thought he was a little cute but what younger sister doesn’t think her brothers friends are cute!?? Long story short, my brother got married back in 2017 and Donnie and I were both in the wedding party. I was nervous to be around him because he looked so handsome in that suit! I had some liquid courage and decided to talk to him before the night ended. We messaged back and forth for a while and he asked me out! We had been together for 2 years and on our second beach vacation together with my family Donnie proposed to me by giving me a scavenger hunt! I was honestly so shocked considering we had just bought a house and didn’t talk about getting engaged for a few more months! When he asked me to be Dottie’s mom (his dog) and marry him my first reaction was “wait, right now!?” And he replied “well I can do it later if you want.” I laughed and said yes of course! I cannot wait to marry the man of my dreams and become Mrs. Royer. I love this man so much and cannot wait for our future as Mr. and Mrs!
