We're getting married!

Long story short - we met at our apartment complex's dog park! Tatum had moved to NWA in early August of 2022 and due to her start day of work being moved back she decided to get a puppy and train him during her free time. After a rainy day, she took Jackson (her dog) on a walk then took him to the apartment complex's big dog park to get some energy out. There Jackson ran through every mud puddle that existed and became extremely dirty! David was in the smaller dog park and asked Tatum "are you new here?" followed by "I hope you don't have a roommate because you're dog is reallyyyy dirty!" Shortly after we started talking, David's dog (Oso) found a frog and decided to take a bite - thus causing a poor reaction. David had to leave quickly and Tatum left to shower Jackson. In the days to come, Tatum kept an eye out to talk to David and to ask him about Oso. David was nonchalant about Oso's incident and played it 'cool' for the next few interactions at the dog park. One Friday, we ended up at the dog park at the same time again and started talking. David invited Tatum to a game night with some other friends from the apartment complex and asked for her number! Tatum went to the game night and David walked her home later that night. He stayed at her apartment until 3am talking about everything and nothing at all. After that night, days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months - those months ultimately led us here! We simply couldn't be more thankful for the way The Lord had a hand in all of this and bringing us together through our beloved four legged babies!
