We first met as high schoolers on a college visit to Washington University in St. Louis. Our friends Robert (the Best Man) and Cicely (Ainsley's friend from White Station) introduced us. At the time, we had no idea what was in store for us. Neither of us ended up at Wash U. We both actually attended the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, but that's not where our story begins. Our respective life journeys took us to Atlanta (Courtney) and Texas (Ainsley). We kept in touch over the years, but it seemed like the timing was never quite right for us. Eventually, we both found our way back to Memphis. And in 2018, we eventually found our way to each other. We soon found ourselves spending every available moment together. We discovered we have a shared love of sports, good food, and sparkling adult beverages. We developed a friendship and a bond that grows stronger every day. Fast forward four years later, and here we are! We cannot wait to celebrate with you and start our life together as husband and wife.
