Stephanie Owen of Van Buren and Bryan Gibson of Lavaca are engaged to be married Aug. 11, 2012. The happy couple will have the ceremony at First Baptist Church of Van Buren.
The duo first met on a playground in kindergarten and attended high school together. After graduation, they attended different universities. It was not until their sophomore year of college that they began dating.
Here’s what the bride had to say about Bryan’s proposal:
“Two and a half years into our relationship we went on a family vacation to Dauphin Island, Ala. One night Bryan took me out to the beach in order to ‘take pictures.’ My sister and her fiance were with us and we spent the evening laughing and goofing off. At sunset, Bryan kissed me and told me how much he loved me. Next thing I know, he is down on one knee asking me to be his wife. Overjoyed, I said yes!”
The sweet engagement photos were taken by The Beaty’s Photography.
We wish them lots of happiness in the years to come!
