How did you two meet?
Cassie: "Brooks and I met on a dating app in Dallas, TX. Our first date was at our now favorite Mexican restaurant, Gloria’s. I thought that Brooks was very attractive, but extremely nervous on our first date as he spent the entire evening chatting my ear off. Brooks thought that I had the biggest and brightest smile he had ever seen."
What are some things you two enjoy doing together?
Cassie: "We love trying new recipes and cooking together. That's become a common date night for the two of us after a long work week. We also love to travel and walk the neighborhood together."
How and when did Brooks propose?
Cassie: "Brooks proposed in December after spending months looking for the perfect ring. Brooks organized my family to come into town from Alabama so that all of our immediate families would be there when he popped the question. After leading me through a candlelit backyard surrounded by all of our favorite pictures and rose peddled walkway, Brooks got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. Shortly after Brooks proposed, all of our closest family members came out to surprise me and popped open the champagne to celebrate. We then spent the remainder of the night reflecting back on our favorite memories together and calling our friends and family to share the news. It was a perfect evening."
