Our story isn’t exactly a fairytale… unless your idea of romance includes a trip to Walmart.

Somewhere between everyday errands and casual conversations, Brad asked what we were doing for Valentine’s Day. Naturally, expectations were low considering Christmas had come and gone without much fanfare. So when he casually said, “I already got your gift,” it was met with a very confident “No you don’t.” (Because obviously, he was just going to panic-buy something the next day while I was at work.)

Fast forward to when we got home. I was in the bathroom, completely unaware that my life was about to change. When I came out, there was Brad… holding Mya… who was holding a bag. And inside that bag? The ring.

No grand speech, no scenic backdrop..just us, at home, with a surprise that was perfectly us. It may not have been the most traditional proposal, but it was genuine, unexpected, and full of love (and honestly, a little bit hilarious).

From Walmart runs to forever, here we are and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
