—
LUBBOCK, Texas. (KCBD/Gray News) – A man in Texas proposed to a woman whose life he saved after she was severely injured in a near-fatal pool accident.
When Brooklyn Boyer was paralyzed in a pool accident in 2020, her relationship with Alan Mann was just beginning. However, five years later, they’re now planning a wedding.
“I sit like all day just looking at the ring and then I’m like, that’s probably bad, but I just can’t stop. I just am so happy, so, so happy,” Brooklyn said.
Their love story started in high school, on a secret date to Sonic. They’d known each other for months, but at that moment, Alan knew Brooklyn was the one.
