In fall 2023, Ruby worked as a preschool assistant teacher in Garland ISD, where she met her best friend, Rachel. Rachel often spoke of her God-loving, funny brother, Jared, and Ruby excitedly agreed to meet him. After weeks of texting and phone calls, they had their first date at Huckabees Coffee in Rockwall, where they lost track of time for four hours. They spent the entire weekend together, and Jared invited Ruby to church, which deepened her admiration for him. As weeks went by, they began dating, and Jared showed Ruby what true love is—he is selfless, naturally funny, service-oriented, and always encourages her to grow closer to God. Fast forward nine months to August, during a family vacation. While taking what was supposed to be a routine family photo, Ruby noticed some unusual phone activity. To her surprise, Jared proposed! Surrounded by family and friends, it was the perfect moment. They can’t wait to build a God-honoring marriage with each other.
