Travel

Carly and Tommy’s love story began the way many do these days—online. It was Carly who made the first move, sending Tommy a message about his adorable dog. After a few weeks of chatting back and forth, they decided to meet in the middle for dinner at Señor Pablo in Sapulpa. That first night, conversation flowed effortlessly and they ended up talking for hours. From that moment on, they began taking turns making the drive between Stillwater and Tulsa just to be together.

3.25.23

During their first year of dating, Carly and Tommy quickly discovered just how much they had in common. Some of their favorite memories from that time include a trip to Houston for a Zach Bryan concert, jet skiing on the Lake of the Ozarks, a weekend getaway to Colorado, and cheering on the Cowboys at Oklahoma State sporting events.

2023

Carly and Tommy’s adventures only grew as their relationship deepened. They set sail on a cruise, explored four new states together, and continued cheering on the OSU Cowboys. Tommy met Carly’s family in Canada, they attended a Dallas Stars playoff game, and went four-wheeling. Each experience brought them closer and added another unforgettable chapter to their story.

2024

On February 8th, 2025, Tommy surprised Carly by asking her to marry him. To keep the moment a secret, he created a fake wedding invitation, ensuring Carly would wear her favorite dress without suspecting a thing. He handcrafted and painted a beautiful arbor, placing it on Carly’s parents’ new land in Mannford—the perfect setting for the proposal Carly had always dreamed of. After she said yes, they were joined by family and friends to celebrate at a house on the lake, making the day even more unforgettable.

2.8.25

This year has been filled with wedding planning, but Carly and Tommy are still making time for adventure and family. So far, they have checked three more states off their travel bucket list and spent quality time with both sides of the family, making meaningful memories in the midst of all the preparations.
