We first met when we were young. We lived in the same mobile home park, and we would play together. One day we were playing hide & seek with some others. Tanna was the seeker, so we all went to hide. I found a trash can to hide in. When she came over to open the lid, I jumped out and gave her a kiss. Pretty sure she said EW and ran away, but she was my first kiss as I was hers.. Fast-forward to February 2, 2015. I asked my childhood crush to be my girlfriend, she said YES!
On May 3, 2019, I asked my best friend to be my wife. How did I do it you may ask? Well, Tanna wanted to get pictures taken of us and our dogs. With the help of our good friends Raymond & Haley (photographers), and Geno (Tanna's father), we were able to make it into a surprise engagement as well. The plan was to tell Tanna that her dad would be there to hold the dogs if needed. After some photos, I told Tanna to put the dogs to the side, so we could take some photos of just us. We were standing on a bridge, snapped some more photos, I knelt down on one knee, and she looked down with much surprise. I asked her to marry me, and she said YES!
