Since I was little, my favorite place has always been my family's lake house on Lake Cypress Springs in Mount Vernon, Texas. Brett and I have so many great memories with friends and family there. While I thought he was at work on Thursday, Brett drove four hours round-trip to the lake house to decorate it. We drove out to the lake the next day, just the two of us. I opened the door and saw it all decorated, turned around... and he was down on a knee. When we got home the next day, Brett surprised me with a mini-engagement celebration with our friends. It was the best weekend!

Kelsey and Brett first met during his first week in Dallas during the summer of 2013. Brett had recently moved to Dallas to begin his career. He headed to meet his close friend, and now groomsman, Barrett who would be introducing him to some good friends at a pool party. Kelsey, who was going into her senior year at SMU, was meeting up her close friend and bridesmaid Taylor at the same pool party. Brett thought Kelsey didn't like him at their first introduction, which soon changed when Kelsey insisted on jumping off the roof into the pool with Brett. After the initial awkwardness wore off, they started to hit it off. They became good friends over the course of the summer. After that, Kelsey went back to SMU and Brett got settled in to his life in Dallas. The timing was not quite right. Over the next few years, they stayed friends as they kept somehow running into each other. They went on their first date at Buzzbrews after Kelsey graduated in the Summer of 2015. Over the next year and a half, Brett and Kelsey became best friends as they spent a lot of time together. The timing was meant to be when they finally agreed to be more than just friends and make it official in February 2017.
