Brooke and Cole’s story begins in El Paso, Texas, a city neither expected to call home but one that unexpectedly set the stage for their love story. Brooke moved here for school and Cole for work, and a well-placed Hinge match led to their first date at Topgolf. They quickly discovered they had very little talent for golf but made up for it with chemistry, laughter, and a natural sense of ease that made being together feel effortless. Their relationship grew through weekend getaways, late nights binging Love is Blind, and learning to cherish every moment together despite living 40 minutes apart on opposite ends of the city. One of their favorite spots became Zin Valle, a charming winery just outside of town where they celebrated Valentine’s Days, introduced their families, and made some of their happiest memories. Cole knew it was the perfect place to ask the most important question of his life. On a sunny spring afternoon, they sat together on a wooden swing, enjoying a rare cool breeze and clear skies, when Cole got down on one knee and asked Brooke to marry him. Now, they’re counting down the days until they say “I do” next month, surrounded by the people who’ve loved and supported them, and can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter and every chapter to come.
