January 21, was a magical day in Texas.

It started with brunch in downtown San Antonio with a live serenade singing Besame Mucho. Rusty and Laura then explore the city and authentic Tex-Mex food all day! In the evening, Rusty and Laura write their names on love locks and place them on the Lock Bridge in San Antonio. They toss the keys in the water and say Forever to one another! Soon after that, they decide to go on the night boat cruise down the river to explore more of the magical city. Before the night could end, Rusty asks Laura if she wants to go check out Marriage Island. He says, “let’s go see if it’s really shaped like a heart.” There, Rusty gets on one knee and asks Laura to marry him. She says YES! Before heading up to their hotel, Rusty and Laura celebrate at the Coyote Ugly Bar!

Rusty proposed to Laura in San Antonio, Texas on their 1 year anniversary trip! He asked Laura on Marriage Island. It's a San Antonio legend that Couples who exchange vows or propose on the heart-shaped bit of land known as Marriage Island will be blessed with many happy years. It is also shaped like a heart.
