#WeMetAtTXST

Summer Cervenka ('02) and Brian Cervenka ('01)
Brian and Summer met their freshman year in the marching band. The Texas State marching field holds a lot of meaning for the Cervenkas: it's where Brian asked Summer on their first date and where, five years later, he proposed. The two have now been married for almost 19 years. Their oldest daughter is a high school senior and will continue her parents' Bobcat legacy this fall.
We're celebrating Valentine's Day with another year of #WeMetAtTXST. If you and your partner met at Texas State, share your story with us for a chance to win a variety of prizes. Look for more stories on our social media channels this Valentine's Day!
