We met in college as Joe was finishing up his senior year and tasks with the wrestling team at App State, I was finishing up nursing school at ETSU. We had mutual friends on Facebook from having multiple people we knew being from Boone, NC. Joe decided to add me and message me on Facebook. Anyways from then on it was a fabulous time! We talked for a few days texting back and forth and finally decided to meet on Feb. 15th, 2016. Our first date consisted of us going out to a brewery in TN called Yee Haw and going to my favorite German restaurant Freibergs (where Joe accidently dropped my left over goulash on the floor). After that we just hit it off, trying to take turns driving back and forth between North Carolina to Tennessee to see each other. Eventually in the fall of 2016 I ended up moving to North Carolina to work at Duke where I now work as a nurse and Joe works as an EVS manager. We have been living in Cary, NC ever since with our doggos Bella and Bane (whom will be in the wedding). We are all about supporting our local economy so our hope is that our wedding supports many amazing local businesses out of the Cary area.
