Anna and Tripp’s story began at a date party at the University of Southern Mississippi. Anna attended with one of her best friends, who was dating Tripp’s high school friend. When Anna asked Tripp for a drink, he jokingly said no—he was broke. Somehow, that playful “no” marked the beginning of something incredible, and before long, they became inseparable. On November 5, 2019 they made their relationship official. They spent most of college together, making unforgettable memories and sharing countless laughs along the way. After graduation, they moved back to Tripp’s hometown of Mandeville, Louisiana. Once Anna finished graduate school and Tripp landed his “big boy” job, they decided it was time to take the next step—buying their first home together. On March 7, 2025, they pulled into the driveway of their first home for the very first time—before even stepping through the door, Tripp finally popped the question, after more than five years of dating! From that moment, their fun and loving relationship continued to grow. Anna and Tripp are so excited to get married and celebrate with everyone who has loved and supported them along the way.
