Sunflowers and Girly Drinks? YES, PLEASE!

Barrett and Sarah both attended Groesbeck High School. The two never spoke to one another during high school, but they both knew who the other was. Their grandmothers often told them individually that they should get together, but their words fell on deaf ears.

Time goes by and by chance they were both at a concert where they began talking a little bit. Sarah noticed that Barrett was drinking a “girly drink” and asked him why he wasn’t drinking a beer instead. Barrett replied, “I think I’m allergic…” as he proceeded to take out his phone to show Sarah a picture he took of his hives, “…ignore my butt-crack.”

The two continued talking and eventually decided to go on a date. They went to dinner in Waco, where Barrett’s brother named Blaine was living at the time. Barrett picked up Sarah for their dinner date. After dinner Barrett asked Sarah if she wanted to stop by Blaine’s apartment to visit because he hadn’t seen him in awhile. So Sarah and Barrett visited Blaine at his apartment on their first date!

December 25, 2020 was THE day! THE day Barrett would propose to Sarah! They were exchanging gifts and Barrett went to another room to get Sarah’s gift. He told her to close her eyes and he approached Sarah. Barrett was so nervous that he couldn’t say anything! He just got down on one knee and showed her the ring as he was smiling. Sarah began crying and said, “YES!”

December 25, 2020 - Barrett asked Sarah to marry him and she said, “YES!”

Barrett and Sarah chose a stunning location for their engagement session! Sarah fell in love with the location while they were riding around as they were spending time together. The property is a special place that’s been in Barrett’s family for many years. His family actually used to live out there! During the summer months, the property is literally covered in sunflowers kissed by the warm glow of a Texas sunset.

Happiness isn’t about getting what you want all the time. It’s about loving what you have and being grateful for it.
