We met while both attending Rollins College; Sharif being the hot-shot basketball star and me being your typical social sorority girl. With that being said, everyone knows the official "meet" happened when Sharif took a seat at a table full of girls at a local bar to make his first move (quite ballsy if you know my friend group). Through all of life's transitions (good & bad), our love grew and created a beautiful foundation, one on which we are so excited to be preparing our marriage.
On our 5 year Anniversary, we planned a nice dinner and decided to get dolled-up for photos prior. If you know us, you know we are both of our own personal photographers, so this was nothing new. While walking up for photos, Sharif brought me to a beautiful set-up with flowers, champagne, and photos of us and our late parents, and shortly after was down on one knee proposing. Our close content-creating guru friends (Bree and Stephen), as well as my two best friends (Abby and Kaeli + Erin on FaceTime), were hiding behind a tree capturing it all. A big "YES" was given, and we were engaged! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Italy!
