In October of 2020 the world was on pause. This was until Brent and McKenna matched on a dating website. On that day, their story started. With most places still under strict occupancy guidelines, their "first" date was at Brents house. As places started to open, they decided to go on their first actual date at Anitas Mexican restaurant over margaritas and chips and salsa.

Soon after that, Brent had told McKenna that he was leaving for over two months for the holidays and he wanted her to wait for him to come back.

After a long two months of barely knowing each other, they decided to drive 7 hours to the Grand Canyon to spend their first New Years together.

Only 3 months later they decided to go to spring training in Arizona. In March of 2021 was the moment they shared that they loved each other. Which of course happened over margaritas and chips and salsa!

After that they started to go through many life milestones. Each of us went through job changes, new apartments, and multiple life events. With each change they became closer and closer.

Soon McKenna and Brent decided to get a dog. After compromising on the type of breed, we decided to drive 8 hours and pick up our new fur baby. We both realized after training a puppy for a year we needed a break!

After convincing Brent to take time off and to travel he finally agreed to travel outside of the country. One week before leaving for their trip they found out they were going to become an Aunt and Uncle! As we were going to celebrate Brent had another idea. While planning to walk to brunch, Brent decided to take the long way while walking along the beach. As McKenna was questioning the long walk he ended up pulling McKenna aside and proposing. Surprising her with proposing he also had our family and friends there to celebrate. Which quickly became the best day ever!

One week later they flew out to Amsterdam, Prague, and Portugal to celebrate their engagement and had the most amazing time. Not soon after they got back they were ready to start planning more trips in their future.

Since the beginning, it has been five years of coffee dates, sports games, traveling, game nights, and raising a crazy dog named Nala.

We are so excited for our future and what yet is to come as our lives combine on our wedding day!
