WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!

We met at a mutual friend’s house in Stillwater after always seeing each other out and about. I always thought he was cute, but I wasn’t going to talk to him since he had a girlfriend. I was out eating with Emily Romero one day and G Dew (Grant DeWitt) messaged me on Instagram. I asked Emily, who the heck is G Dew? I opened up the message and he said “hey, I think you are really cute, and I’d like to know you better. I said, ‘aww thank you.’ He thought it meant I rejected him. His brother Cole told him I think that’s a nice way of her rejecting you. He asked for my snapchat because Cole told him that was the in thing - I personally like texting better - but I gave him my snapchat. He asked for my number and asked me out for a date. He had deal-breaker question before we went on the date – “What do you think about Kevin Durant?” I said he was a snake and he said great now we can go on the date. We talked a lot about sports … we still do. I think three days after he messaged, we went out on the first date. He picked me up out front of Phi Mu. A bunch of my sorority sisters were watching out the window. They text me “oh my gosh he opened the door for you.” He took me to Texas Roadhouse. We talked for a long time that night and I came back and told my family and friends that I met the man I’m going to marry.

It was on June 12, 2020, it was his mom Donelle’s birthday. I was supposed to get my nails done. I was going to reschedule because Easton needed shots that day but Grant told me to go ahead and get my nails done. Taking Easton to get his shots was so heartbreaking. He ended up running a fever and got sick shortly after. We were supposed to go to Stillwater for Donelle’s birthday, but I didn’t want to leave him sick with anyone. Grant kept telling me it was his mom’s birthday and that we were taking family pictures, so we needed to go. I was dreading leaving my baby and told Alea I needed her to do my make up because I had no motivation. I got dressed and on the drive to Stillwater, Donelle called us and said they were running late so to just go to the bar and wait on them. When we got to the restaurant, Grant said let’s go walk around campus and reminisce. We walked outside and I remember Grant getting mad because people were playing cornhole on OU boards on the library lawn. That made me laugh. We were walking toward Theta Pond when I saw orange roses and a display with pictures … I knew right then what was happening. I started crying and I said to Grant ‘shut up’ like I was shocked. We walked over there and Grant read me Bible verses from his Bible. I was just standing there with my hand over my mouth. He kneeled down and asked me to marry him and I obviously said YES!!
