How it Started

It's Electric!

A round of "2 Truths and a Lie" followed by some witty Bumble banter, we had our first date on Groundhogs Day 2018 at Edison's Food & Drink Lab. While Kristin wasn't thrilled about the 8PM reservation and having to suppress her "Hanger", it was indisputable there was instant chemistry and sparks flying after the first date. A few more dates followed, including a Flamenco Dance show at the Columbia and a first kiss after receiving a rose during an episode of the "Bachelor", before Kristin asked Adam to the Gasparilla Grace O'Malley Ball. A full night of dancing and Kristin breaking out her Backstreet Boys choreography sealed the embarkation of our "Larger Than Life" journey together.

The Proposal

Operation Surprise Kristin

Kristin's first true love is the University of Alabama. She would frequent the library, not to study, but to scout potential suitors. While she did not find Mr. Right in college, she always dreamed of bringing that special someone to see a place that meant so much to her. After 9 months into their relationship, Adam was introduced to her friends at a rowdy Alabama Football pregame at Gallette's and a rowdier postgame at Rounders. The next day, they toured the campus on a beautiful fall day and shared a special moment when Adam looked Kristin in the eyes and said, "You make sense to me now." Fast forward to July of 2020. It's a pandemic and proposal opportunities are few and far between. Kristin's friend was hosting a small baby shower in Tuscaloosa and as this was her first time leaving the house in 4 months, the opportunity was too good to waste. Adam devised a plan with the help of Kristin's parents and an inside accomplice (Margaret-Anne). Margaret-Anne was to get the ladies to campus to pose for a picture for her 'Big South Bites' food blog. Upon arrival to campus, Adam popped out from behind the iconic Denny Chimes and dropped to one knee. She was in total shock to the point she almost forgot to say "Yes". It still brings a smile to both of our faces when we think about how special that day was.
