💍❤️ Yesterday was a special day in the NICU of Sugar Land Hospital! Patrick Perry proposed to Lori Kazmir in the sweetest way—with a little help from their newborn, Elijah!

👶 Elijah Perry was born on July 30, 2024, at 9:47 AM, weighing 6 lbs 10 oz. He has 3 brothers and 1 sister who are all excited to welcome him into the family.

📅 Mom and Dad met on Facebook Dating in August 2023. Patrick has been planning this proposal for 2 weeks, and today, he made it unforgettable. He dressed Elijah in a onesie that asked, "Mommy, will you marry Daddy?" and Lori, through happy tears, said "YES!"

Congratulations to the newly engaged couple! We are honored to be part of your special moment. 💙👶💍
