This pair’s love story begins back in high school. Phillip tried sneaking in front of Yvonne while she stood in line for lunch. She promptly tapped him on the shoulder and demanded he move to the back of the line. Months later, the pair bumped into each other after the summer pep rally held to welcome the incoming freshman class. Phillip worked up the nerve to ask Yvonne for her phone number and she accidentally wrote it down incorrectly. After weeks of trying to call, Phillip saw Yvonne on the first day of school and made sure to write down the correct line.
Eleven years later, the couple took a Fourth of July trip to Washington, D. C. On their way to a fireworks show, Phillip’s nervous attitude began to irritate Yvonne. She thought he was acting uneasy because he wasn’t feeling well and didn’t give it much thought as the fireworks display began. As the crowd turned to watch the show, Phillip quickly grabbed Yvonne’s attention and got down on one knee. She was so excited and overwhelmed by the noise and her emotions that he had to repeat his sweet words once the show ended.
Yvonne is a credentialing and license assistant for EmCare and Phillip is a home equity fulfillment specialist at Capital One. The pair studied together at Richland Community College. They will wed at the Bella Donna Chapel in McKinney on September 21 before hosting their reception at The Cotton Mill.
