About a month prior to the first time Billy and I met, a mutual friend (Abigail) decided she wanted to set the two of us up on a date. However, our schedules seemed to constantly conflict. On the night we met I went into Chick-fil-A, where Billy worked, because I had a free sandwich. It also so happened that he was working that night. We both instantly recognized each other, but did not know how to interact with one another. He fumbled around, I thought he was kinda cute, and I ended up leaving the store somewhat interested. That night he texted Abigail and said he knew I was the one. We started dating a month later.

Billy had planned an escape room for us to go to with some friends and family. The goal of the room was to find the lost will of a dead soldier. Unbeknownst to me, Billy and his mother had been coordinating with the owners of the business to make it so the final challenge contained the ring, and not the will. I was extremely surprised and utterly delighted when I opened the final clue and realized what was happening. My best friend and the love of my life had just made all my hopes and dreams come true. We are immensely excited to share the start of this next chapter in our lives with all of you!
