Carlee's story:

I met AJ at a karaoke bar, I had gone with a friend who introduced me to him. We didn't click on the initial night, but a couple weeks later I went to the bar again and we started talking. I thought he was great, and we bonded over both having been told we were "too sweet". I asked him if he wanted to go to a friend's birthday party with me, and after he told me he did we started getting ready to go. Long story short, AJ spat on the ground, I told him it was gross, and he told me I had to get used to it. In my shock, I tripped and broke my big toe. Luckily, AJ is and was amazing, so he drove me to my friend's place to drop off the supplies I had for the party and then took care of me, getting me ice for my toe and watching netflix with me. He even went to the doctor with me!
Fast forward a little bit and I told AJ that I wouldn't say "yes" to being his girlfriend until he met my sisters, he met them on a Saturday for Mari's birthday party and decided he would think of a special way to ask me to be his girlfriend. Well, the following Monday we were sitting outside of a Starbucks in his car, talking, and he said "I really don't want to wait until the 'perfect time', I like you, a lot, and I want you to be my girlfriend". I said "Are you asking me?", and he said "well, what's your answer?". He didn't have to wait until the perfect time, because that WAS the perfect time (I said yes, and we were official!).
Throughout the 2+ years we've been together, we've gotten close with each other's families, we've worked together, we've celebrated accomplishments, and we've consoled each other through hard times and losses. AJ and I have known for a while that we found our 'person', so when he proposed at a Dallas Stars game, with butterflies in my stomach and a smile on my face, I knew that he was my happily ever after and said "yes".

AJ's story:

We met at a local Plano bar, Carlee was going with a friend and I was going for karaoke. The friend she came with was a friend of mine as well and we started talking. My big opener was “your hair smells nice” - yeah, a real stalker vibe up front. But somehow she didn’t run away we hung out for the rest of the night and exchanged numbers. Over the next weeks and months we got to know each other more from meeting parents and siblings to meeting friends we started dating on March 21, 2016. Fast forward to March 25, 2018 at a Dallas Stars game, after their 1st and only goal that game, I got down on one knee and asked her to be my wife- luckily for me she said yes! And the rest is still being written.
