It's on.

Ross and I met in August 2014 after I was introduced to his twin brother, Scott, in a bar in East Atlanta. Over pasta on the La Tavola porch, we bonded over a shared love of good food, travel, family, and the Georgia Bulldogs. We quickly fell into an easy rhythm with each other, which filled our relationship with Saturday afternoon hikes, Sunday trips to Costco, and lots of home cooked meals over a shared bottle of wine. We've managed to sprinkle in some adventure over the past seven years years as well, including trips to Israel, France, Belgium, and Mexico, as well as lots of domestic travel. We raised a seeing eye dog for the Guide Dog Foundation together in 2016, and welcomed Charlotte, our golden retriever, into our family in May 2019. While I am incredibly grateful for adventure and whimsy. I believe what marks our relationship most is the commitment and support we've offered each other when facing a challenge. Together, we've tackled loss, career shifts, moves, graduate degrees, and a global pandemic with respect, compassion, and empathy for the other person. I'm thankful to be moving forward in life with a person as thoughtful, and capable as Ross. In April 2019, Ross proposed in the Founder's Garden on UGA's North Campus. We were thrilled to call our parents and announce that we would no longer be living in sin, and instead, they would now be facing the joys of planning an interfaith wedding. (Just kidding, Mom). As what I suppose was a blessing in disguise, we took our time in planning the wedding, which ultimately worked in our favor as COVID-19 threw a wrench into a lot of engaged couple's plans. We are so excited to celebrate with you in Athens on August 7, 2021. Bring your dancing shoes and an appetite! xo, Abbey
