Mackenzie and Sean met in August of 2019 in Phoenix, Arizona. At the time, Mackenzie was living in Phoenix, and Sean was living in Oregon. Sean was in town for the summer for his new job with minor league baseball when they met and hit it off. They decided to keep their relationship going after the summer by doing long-distance for about a year, and it was totally worth it! Sean eventually moved to Phoenix and the rest is history. The Proposal Sean was leaving in April for baseball season, and he wanted to surprise Mackenzie with a ring and proposal before he left. The plan was to make a surprise stop on the way to what would seem to be an ordinary family dinner but with some surprise guests. The spot was a little hill that overlooked the Phoenix valley with a perfect view of the sunset. She said yes, of course, and then they celebrated their engagement at dinner with their families.
