A Waco Dream come true


McKailah and Brady's love story is one for the books, beginning with a chance meeting at Shenanigan's in Huntsville, Texas and blossoming into a beautiful relationship at Baylor University. Their journey from strangers at a bar to soulmates is a testament to fate and the power of connection.


Despite the challenges of a long-distance relationship during the pandemic, McKailah and Brady's bond only grew stronger with each passing day. Their commitment to each other was unwavering, overcoming obstacles and hardships that tested their love and perseverance.

As fate would have it, Brady's decision to transfer to Baylor University sealed their destiny as a couple. From that moment on, they were inseparable, supporting each other through the highs and lows of life, building a foundation of love, trust, and companionship that would last a lifetime.



Their engagement marked a new chapter in their love story, a promise of forever that they eagerly anticipated. With dreams of a wedding on the horizon but financial constraints looming, McKailah and Brady faced the reality of having to wait years before they could afford to celebrate their love in the way they had always imagined.
