Not only do I get the privilege to help one of my best friends plan her wedding, but I got to see her engagement!
Kara and Jonathan met back in college in 2018 at Texas A&M (Whoop!). While meeting at a Christmas party, the two became quite a pair. Jonathan had asked Kara to a few date parties for his men's organization, and soon the rest became history.
