How it all began
Jackie and Keon have known each other since they were twelve years old where they met as tiny 6th graders in the narrow halls of International School. Their relationship grew as they grew as individuals and have had the unique opportunity to see each other through all of life’s milestones.

the Proposal
Jackie and Keon woke up on a Sunday and said goodbye to Andrew and Jasmine who were staying with them for the week. It was a really relaxed morning - they made loose plans to go to brunch after Keon said he wanted to clean the roof. Keon’s a bit slow so Jackie decided to lay on the couch before getting ready but keon said it would only take 5 minutes for him to leaf blow so jackie should get ready now. jackie got ready for brunch and Keon came running down saying the table was destroyed from the weather and wanted me to see if it needed replacing. Ijackie went up on the roof and there were 5 bags out on the table containing elements throughout our lives.
Bag 1 - “The First Time We Met” - notebooks, highlighters, erasers symbolizing middle school
Bag 2 - “College years” - lots of junk food!
Bag 3 - “When I Knew You Were the One” - lunchables symbolizing my charcuterie skills and a back scratcher
Bag 4 - “Something We See in Our Future” - baby clothes!
Bag 5 - The ring…
Afterwards, he planned an entire engagement party at Little Water Cantina where our friends and family surprised me from all over the country.
And the rest is history in the making
