Katelyn and Hunter met online when they both had decided to give online dating apps a try. Katelyn was scrolling through the app one day when she saw a picture of a really cute cat. She messaged the man and asked what the name of his cat was. He messaged her back with the answer. "Her name is Queen Cleocatra," the message said, "but she goes by Cleo." Katelyn knew then that she had to go on a date with this man.

Katelyn and Hunter went on their first date at Rock-N-Roll Sushi in Benton on March 19th, 2024. They had a great time and wanted to meet again. They went on several dates, and in May, Hunter asked her to be his girlfriend. Later that summer, in July, they both said, "I love you."

Fast-forward to March 2025. They had decided to spend their lives together. Now all that Katelyn was waiting for was a proposal. Hunter assured her that he had a plan.

On March 22nd, a few days after the anniversary of their first date, Hunter took Katelyn on a date to Downtown Hot Springs. They walked downtown, got ice cream, and enjoyed the breeze up on the promenade. Both people were super nervous. Hunter, because he was getting ready to propose and Katelyn, because she was afraid that he wouldn't.

Hunter was waiting for Katelyn's mom and sister to arrive so he could finally ask the question. However, they were running late. Hunter had to stall for time. Finally, they arrived, and Hunter rushed Katelyn back up to the promenade and got down on one knee. Obviously, the answer was yes.
