Our Story

Justin and Leigh Ann met in the summer of 2018 as incoming freshman at Texas Tech University. Justin drove three and a half hours from Magnolia to Dallas, Texas where they went to the zoo, then to eat dinner at Chuys and they ended the night at a rangers game. It was love at first sight. From that moment they conquered college, first jobs and recently moving to Dallas together. All while making unforgettable memories along the way. Some of which include Justins birthday trip to White Sands National Park in New Mexico, their trip to Las Vegas to see Shania Twain for the first, but certainly not last, time. In July 2023 they went to see Shania Twain for a second time, little did Leigh Ann know, Justin had been planning for months on how he was going to make this one of the most unforgettable nights of their lives. In front of 20,000 people he asked her to spend the rest of her life with him and of course she said yes. Now they are looking forward to November where they will officially tie the knot in Valley View, Texas, joined by all their closest family friends and loved ones.
The Proposal

The weekend of July 21, 2023, we headed to Dallas for a Shania Twain concert where we had on-stage VIP tickets. I had purchased an engagement ring in Midland in preparation for this day. I had to keep the ring in my backpack that I took back and forth to work in fear of Leigh Ann finding it since we were in the process of moving. On the day of the concert, I had the ring hidden on me and had some help from the event planner at the concert. I waited in anticipation for the concert to start and for us to get called up on stage. Once it was time for us to go up on stage, Leigh Ann was distracted and I pulled the ring box out and held it behind my back. While on stage, Shania Twain sang "From This Moment On" and we stood on stage watching the performance. Towards the end of the song, I began to prepare myself. Once the song ended, I got down on one knee and asked Leigh Ann to marry me, to which she responded "You mean it", shortly followed by a "Yes". We shared a moment together on stage and with Shania Twain. The crowd of around 20,000 people in attendance cheered for us as we were finally engaged.
