We're Getting Married!

It started with a simple text: "Do Brooke and Bryson have a coffee maker for their house yet?" Harmless, casual, but behind those words, a quiet hope lingered. Three days later he showed up unannounced, but definitely not unwelcome. She was waitressing, caught off guard by the way the looked at her like she was he only one in the room. Something shifted. A week later, they stood side by side at his sisters wedding, all dressed up, hearts dancing in rhythm. Under Georgia's beautiful night sky and soft music, he asked the question that made her smile in disbelief. "Will you be my girlfriend?" She said yes. Three months later, they boarded a flight to her hometown in California... sunny skies, sandy beaches, and her family waiting with open arms. He fit so naturally, like he'd always belonged in her world. Their first Christmas together came soon after. Twinkling lights, thoughtful gifts, and the warmth of knowing they were building something real. Then came Valentine's day, and the "big move". Sharing the new apartment and all living spaces was new, but magical. The best decision ever. And on their anniversary high in the hills of Tennessee, on a beautiful hike with a rainbow in the background, he dropped to one knee. As if God painted the perfect picture, he asked... she said yes! From a harmless text about a coffee maker to a future full of love, laughter and forever
