From where we began to where we are now, every moment led us here.
Anna & Makenzie met at Texas State University, in the back of history class, in August 2021. Anna arrived at class first & sat at the back of the class, so she wouldn’t feel pressured to talk to anyone. Makenzie walked in, looked around, & decided to sit directly next to Anna because “she looked nice,” & proceeded to talk her ear off for the next 5 years.
The two began studying together, then became friends, & then something more. On 11/11/21, at Rio Vista Park in San Marcos, Anna asked Makenzie to be her girlfriend using a rock she had written on & placed the night before, for her to find the next day. They dated for the next 4.5 years, with their 4 cats getting along splendidly, & moved into their first house together in Nov 2025.
On vacation, Anna and her family planned a surprise proposal for Makenzie. When the moment came, Anna got down on one knee in a meadow in the San Juan Mountains and asked Makenzie, “Will you marry me?” Makenzie, too stunned to speak at first, finally yelled, “YES!”
The next chapter begins surrounded by the people Anna & Makenzie love most. The rest of the saga is still being written.
