Detect Skin Cancer...Early!

How did y’all meet?

We met on a dating app, actually! We didn’t talk to each other much on the app. It was always very friendly and short conversations. We eventually got each other’s social info and didn’t talk again until months later, but hit it off eventually when the timing was right!

Any fun facts?

We both have been near each other all along, but we had never actually cross paths!

When did you “know” and how?

Hers: I knew when I realized he was my safe space. I felt safe & at peace.

His: I knew when I realized I was taking things more seriously. When I saw how much my family, especially my grandma, loved her.

How did he propose?

We went on a picnic one day and were just having random conversations. He eventually brought up getting married and asked if it was something I wanted to do. Fast forward to about a month or two later, we drove to my parents so he could ask for my hand in marriage. After we left, he proposed to me outside of their house!

When & where did you get married and how did you pick the venue?

We got married April 22, 2023 at Willow Creek in Waxahachie. When we were touring venues, we fell in love with the wedding venue’s owner. She was funny, good with people and very welcoming!
