We met at an Electronic Dance Music festival in Baytown, TX in October of 2021. We just happened to be at the same place at the right time. We were basically introduced through a friend of a friend with no intention of said friends purposefully introducing us, it just happened by chance. We ended up spending most of the day with each other and our group of friends. At the end of the first day of the music festival, we were both adamant on letting the other know where to find each other for the second day so we could keep the good times rolling. The second day came and it was absolutely perfect, the music, the people, the vibes. Just an overall great weekend. After the end of the music festival we got each other's contact info and went our separate ways. With one of us living in Dallas and the other living in Lake Charles the distance seemed a good reason not to pursue anything.
(Hunter: I also thought she was way out of my league and I thought I had no shot)(She's definitely still out of my league)
After the first festival we did not talk much but we did talk enough to plan to meet at another festival. Both of us were keen on meeting up again and it was the perfect excuse without directly saying the affection we felt for the other.
6 months go by before we would see each other again. At this point neither of us know that one is attracted to the other but we both knew that we were excited to hang out again. So we met at another festival and had a great time together again, along with the rest of our friends. Still neither of us made any kind of move on the other, just two people enjoying our time together. After that festival we once again went our separate ways and hoped for another round. We still only occasionally spoke or messaged each other, mainly just sharing new music and discussing future events.
We may never have spoken on our attraction to one another at this point but the chemistry and magic was there. We could feel it. We could see it. See it in each other's eyes when we looked at one another. But still, we waited.
8 more months go by before we would see each other again, this time was at a New Years Eve music festival in Dallas. Something was different this time. We had a different group of friends going, so it seemed we were really going just for the other person. And this is where all the things came to light.
This music festival was different. With a smaller group of friends we gravitated more towards each other. When traveling through the crowds you always have to hold hands so you don't get separated, this was the first time we started holding hands to make our way through. However, this time after making our way through the crowds, we did not let go. We stayed hand in hand. Up to this point, if you were to look at past festival pictures, you would always see us pictured apart. That also changed here, we never left each other's side. All pictures from that point on have us closely joined at the hip. And it didn't stop there. After the first night, us and our friends retreated to the hotel room to rest and prepare for night two. We are all just talking, discussing the night that just unfolded, telling tales of all the things we saw. As the group conversations died down, it happened:
Lexi - "Would you think I'm crazy if I said I love you?"
Hunter - "No. I love you too."
"You think I am crazy enough to move to Dallas for you?
Cause I am."
And here we are, more than 2 years later, still together since that day, living in Dallas. Still going to music festivals together, dancing through life, hand in hand everywhere we go.
We could not be more excited to spend forever with each other. We are also more than ready to share our wedding with our friends and family. We thank you all for all the things everyone has done for us because it has made us the person we are today and we love that person that we have found.
LETS PARTY!
