Our story began in 2017, when Adam and I first met while working as lifeguards at the Oak Ridge Swim Club. We started out as coworkers, but what began as a friendly working relationship quickly grew into a strong friendship. However, life took us in different directions. We both went off to different colleges and kept in touch here and there, but the busy pace of school and life led us to drift apart. Fast forward to 2022, when fate stepped in and brought us back together. We reconnected, and it didn’t take long for us to realize that the bond we shared was still as strong as ever. After many trips from Alabama to North Carolina and long FaceTime calls, we both knew we wanted to be together. Our connection felt effortless, as if all the years between 2017 and 2022 were simply preparing us for this moment. Here we are now, ready to take the next step together. We are so thankful for the Lords kindness to give us the gift of marriage. We can't wait!
