Deep in the heart of Texas, where sunsets stretch over endless skies and the spirit of adventure fills the air, Zach and Ashley’s paths first crossed. It wasn’t love at first sight—not quite—but it was the beginning of something beautiful. While the hustle and bustle of Texas life kept them occupied, both felt something was missing. Though how they met may not have been conventional, their connection quickly bloomed into something undeniable.

The chemistry was undeniable on their first date. An fun evening at Armadillo Den in Austin was the perfect backdrop. The charm of the venue wasn’t just in the music or the rustic, quirky vibes, but in the quiet, intimate moments they shared getting to know one another. They played ring toss, laughing and teasing each other—until a bet was made. Zach bet Ashley that he could beat her at the game and when he did he wanted a kiss. Ashley laughed at the coy smile on Zach’s face and figured this would at least be worth a laugh. With a laugh she accepted. Without hesitation, Zach released the ring and it found itself on the hook. First try. Their eyes met and Zach leaned in for their first kiss. It was a kiss full of promise, of the beginnings of something that would grow into an adventure neither could have imagined.

It wasn’t until Thanksgiving Day—on the very first day they saw their future farm—that Zach asked the question that would change everything. They were there, standing in the middle of the land that would eventually hold their dreams, and in that moment, surrounded by the promise of a life together, Zach asked Ashley to be his forever.

The magic of that day wasn’t just in the place or the moment—it was in the way Zach had made sure the proposal was a reflection of their shared journey. A day meant for gratitude, for looking ahead, and for beginning a new chapter in their story. From that point on, the farm wasn’t just a piece of land; it became a symbol of their commitment, their love, and the future they would build together.
