From Tug of War to ‘I Do’
When fate brings you together over steaks and a rope, you know you’re in for an adventure! That’s exactly how the story began for Elizabeth and Kullen, our lovely couple for today’s feature. They first met while working together at Texas Roadhouse. But their real connection sparked not over the dinner rush, but in the heat of competition.
The restaurant’s annual inter-branch tug-of-war game became their unforgettable meet-cute. Elizabeth and Kullen found themselves pulling for the same team and, unknowingly, for each other’s hearts. Elizabeth wasn’t actively searching for love, yet a little friendly encouragement from those around her provided the gentle nudge fate intended. This moment officially set the stage for their romantic journey.
Fast forward three wonderful years, and Kullen knew it was time to take their story to the next chapter. During a sunlit getaway to Treasure Island, Florida, he carefully planned a proposal. A marriage proposal that was both heartfelt and delightfully “them.” Using the classic “let’s take a silly picture” trick, Kullen set his camera on a timer, only to drop to one knee just as the shutter clicked. The look of surprise and joy on Elizabeth’s face perfectly captured their fun-loving spirit — a moment of pure love framed by golden light and laughter.
