THE LOVE STORY OF Keely & Aaron

JULY 14, 2023

It all started when…

We began working together in the summer of 2020. We didn't see each other every day, but on the days we did, we spent a good amount of time getting to know each other. Our coworkers were constantly commenting on how cute they thought we would be together and would find opportunities for us to spend time with each other. Though we denied having feelings for one another for a little while, it wasn't long before we started messaging back and forth. The rest is history!

We truly are each other's best friends and biggest supporters. Life is so much more fun when you get to walk through it with your person!

THE PROPOSAL

On Veteran's Day weekend in 2022, we decided to take a trip to Ruidoso to get away for a few days just as we had done the year prior. I am a big shopper and I loved spending a lot of time on the main road the first time we went, and was so excited to visit again. The first day we walked the main road, we passed the hiking shop with all of the love locks that hang around the door. We had made one the previous year and I thought it would be so cool to see if we could find it, but Aaron insisted we wait and look for it on Sunday. Little did I know, he had a plan! We started Sunday off at the t-shirt shop down the road, and in my true fashion, I could not decide which one I wanted. We were in that store far longer than either of us anticipated. He was so patient with me as always, but as soon as we checked out, he suggested we go look for the love lock. (on the complete opposite end from where we were) I couldn't help but ask a million questions along the way since I couldn't figure out why we needed to go right then, but I also had no idea there was a photographer waiting for us. Once we got to the shop, I began searching for the lock, but before I knew it he was on one knee and popping the question. I had NO idea! It was so special, so perfect, and so us!

WHAT MOMENT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO ON YOUR WEDDING DAY?

Dancing the night away with our closest friends and family!

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TWIN LAKES?
We fell in love with everything about it. The view, the layout, the team. We truly felt at home from the moment we toured it. There is no other venue like it.

DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR FUTURE COUPLES?

Truly savor every moment, and enjoy the process. Surround yourselves with people who are excited to share in this journey with you and don’t stress the little things.

Plan it together!
