We met through mutual friends in early high school. Just over a year after initially meeting, we ran into each other at the Edwards County Fair, the night I (Avery) broke my wrist in a fair event. Little did we know, that day would start the relationship that led us here, seven years later about to start a life together. After a couple group dates, we took our first "solo" date to the local Mexican restaurant, and quickly made it "official" when Levi asked me to be his girlfriend in my parent's driveway on September 5th of 2017.
During the summer of 2023, we took our first trip together, just the two of us. We spent the week in St. Louis, a city we both loved exploring! Towards the end of the trip, several of our friends joined us for a Cardinals vs. Astros game at Busch Stadium. From my point of view, we were lucky to have found six more seats next to ours to seat our friends and family. However, that was not the case...they had each found their tickets long before I knew they were coming and perfectly timed out letting me know that they would be joining us. After six innings of baseball (and almost six years together), Levi asked me to be his wife, and I said, "YES." This was the greatest surprise of my life, and we couldn't be more grateful for the support from all of our friends and family. We might have walked away with a Cardinals loss to the Astros that day, but we also walked away with the biggest win of our lives, getting to spend forever with each other. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you. See you in October!
