Gary Foster and Shelby Walters met in 2017 after an online conversation over Snapchat. Shelby “slid in his DMs” after a funny video he posted. The two quickly became acquainted and after a week of phone conversation, Gary asked Shelby to meet him at his family’s annual softball game. Shelby agreed and the two met face to face for the very first time on September 16, 2017. Nervous and excited to finally meet, the evening ended with a night of bowling and great conversation. From that day on, Shelby and Gary spent everyday together. And the rest as they say, is history. The Engagement: It was during their fifth year anniversary trip in Mexico, Gary decided to pop the question. On June 18, 2022, Gary planned a romantic dinner on the beach with the words “Will you?” Written in the sand.
