Garrett and Abbey originally started talking through Tinder (an online dating site) in April of 2016. Life happened and they were sent their different ways. At the beginning of October, they started texting once again. The following week, on October 14, 2016, Abbey talked Garrett into a haunted house date. They continued seeing each other and made it “official” on November 25, 2016, in Charleston, SC. In January of 2019, they realized that they would be graduating from college on the same day, 2 hours apart, and in two different cities. So instead of being able to attend each other's graduations, they planned a family dinner to celebrate. On April 25, 2019, in front of their families, Garrett got down on one knee (the night before his ACL surgery) and asked for Abbey’s hand in marriage. And you can say that the rest is history!
