It all started with a TikTok Live. Ava was scrolling with her grandma when she stumbled across a guy getting ready for his basketball game—Landen. Something about him caught her attention, and before she knew it, they were talking. By the end of the conversation, he invited her to his game that night.

Her grandma agreed to drop her and a friend off, just for fun. But the second Ava met Landen in person, something clicked. It wasn’t just fun anymore—it felt different, real.

Later that night, when her grandma came to pick her up, Ava got in the car and said without hesitation, “I’m going to marry that boy.”

And she meant it.

From that game forward, Ava and Landen were inseparable. They spent every day together, going on adventures to SeaWorld, beach hopping, cruising, and making memories in Orlando.

In October 2024, they added a new member to their little family—a puppy named Pennie. Then, just two months later, Landen proposed at Ava’s favorite place in the world: Disney.

What started as a random TikTok Live turned into a once-in-a-lifetime love. And that game night? It was just the beginning.
