One word… Millienials. We met off of the dating app Tinder and connected instantly. After about a month of nonstop Facetimes and phone calls we met in person and couldn’t get enough of each other. “Payton asked me out in such the cutest way, she had a Polaroid camera and a ring pop (inside joke) and had a note that said “I cant ‘picture’ my life without you, will you be my girlfriend?” -Shayleigh With long distance, we spent numerous nights in hotel rooms in both Bentonville and Mammoth Spring. Countless of trips back and forth until we made the best decision ever, to move to Bentonville and start our lives together. Our first place was a one bedroom one bath small apartment with our dog Belle. We lived as a couple until 7/24/2021 then Shayleigh became future Mrs. Armstrong. “Payton had it all planned out without me knowing. She booked a photographer and told me we were just taking a normal photoshoot at a sunflower field. She disappeared for a while and then the photographer made me turn around with my back to Payton and the camera. After we took a few pictures in that pose the photographer told me to turn around and then Payton got down on one knee and the rest is history!” -Shayleigh Which now leads to us getting married!

How lucky am I to call you mine? Your love and trust makes me a better person, each and every day. For all those times that we've been together, there's always been a mutual understanding that's only shared when two people love each other truly. You were there for my greatest challenges. You encouraged me to grow. You helped believe in myself and become the person that I am today. In your arms and by your side, I know I can do anything. I'm proud to call you my stunning fiancé. I love you so very much and let’s get married! Love, Payton
