Bumble. That is where this love story started. Bernard still likes to tease “she messaged me first.” Bernard grew up on a ranch in Wyoming and Whitney in a small town in west Texas. Both attended college at Tarleton around the same time but never crossed paths. They would later find out they had many mutual friends. After exchanging a few messages, a first date at Mi Familia and several weeks of being “just friends,” Bernard asked Whitney to be his girlfriend in May 2020. The rest is history…

While on vacation in Florida, Bernard suprised me with the most beautiful ring. He carefully scoped out a good spot the first day we arrived at our resort. The next day we went back to “the spot” to check out the yachts at the marina and walk along the beach. This is when he got down on one knee and popped the question!
