A Love Story

Once upon a time, there was a  boy....

and a girl...

The boy and girl grew up in the same city and went to the same high school...

but they didn't meet there.

They went to the same college too...

 But still, their paths never crossed.

The boy enjoyed having a good time with his friends.....

and so did the girl....

Then on the girl's 25th birthday, they met while out with friends here....

They thought the other was cute, but were pretty shy, so it would be a whole more month before they even saw each other again.  

Then, one Sunday Funday, 

the boy and girl exchanged phone numbers as friends that would call each other when a group of people went out.

A few days later, on Cinco De Mayo, the boy and girl made plans to meet up with a big group of friends to celebrate at....

While listening to this guy....

(and this is the actual night we were there, so we are right behind the camera guy!)

the boy sneakily grabbed the girls hand and for the rest of the night they talked and got to know each other better.

The next night, they went to a baseball game and realized they had a little more than just a crush on each other.  They hung out till entirely too late with friends....

From that point on, the boy and girl were inseparable....

They hung out with friends....

They cheered on their Alma Mater at all of the football games...

and celebrated their first Christmas together in style...

 She realized how handsome he was in a suit....

They went and cheered on OSU at the Alamo Bowl...

and spent their first New Year's Eve with the girl's best friend in San Antonio.  

The boy was there for the girl while she spent a lot of time with family here....

 

and hugged her whenever she felt like she was going to cry, or scream or both.

She felt so happy to have him come celebrate holidays with her family and to be invited to celebrate with his family and get to play with his nephews...

The girl had already realized she was very much so in love with the boy.

Finally, it was their one year anniversary.  The boy and girl went to dinner at a very romantic restaurant...

and after dinner, at the girl's nagging, they went for a walk....

 They stopped and read anniversary cards they had bought for each other.  While the girl read the card the boy had gotten for her, he pulled the ring sneakily out of his pocket.

The boy was so nervous, he forgot to get down on one knee.  The girl was shocked as he asked her to marry him.....

The girl yelled "Are you serious?!?!  Oh my gosh! Seriously?!"  Before finally getting out a huge YES!  

After much crying...

the boy and girl went to tell their families.  Finally after many hours, they met up with some dear friends to celebrate and take it all in....

The boy and girl decided to enjoy their engagement and can't wait to see where their love story goes from here!
