Can you imagine bringing a girl to meet your family the same night that you met her? Well, that’s exactly what our first date consisted of (after a quick Walmart run for party supplies). We went to the surprise birthday party for one of his sisters where there were family and friends, food and conversation, and plenty of drinking and dancing. The night was easy and natural. Without a care in the world, we chatted about life experiences, danced to the band, made each other laugh, and, without realizing it, began to fall for one another. Both of us hoped, but neither of us thought, that we had just met the person we’d spend the rest of our lives with.

In November 2018, we bought our first house together. It took us a couple months to get settled in and make a few improvements to the place, but as soon as the weather warmed up we planned a party with all of our friends and family. The day was absolutely gorgeous. The sun was out and so many people came to help us break in our new home. Just like the night we met, there was food, drinks, music, and dancing. But one dance became a little extra memorable. We danced together to 'Give You a Ring' by Casey Donahew and as the lyrics were sung, "All those memories From our first kiss to me down here on my knees So I can give you this ring..." Colton got down on his knee and asked for a lifetime together.
