Shawnta' and I met in college at the University of Pikeville in 2013. We were both student athletes, Tay played football, and I was on the soccer team at the time. We met through mutual friends, and we always seemed to keep in contact with each other. We always seemed to have a connection, and we were always very close friends, but we didn't start dating until we both were moved away from school. Tay had graduated, and I moved back home. We had one of our first "official" dates on Valentines Day in 2015. <3 We then later on had our first blessing, Parker Rae Zachery in Feb 2016, she was quite the surprise but the best one in the world! Tay, Preston, Parker, and our families had planned the best surprise ever for our engagement! They staged a family photo shoot, and come to find out it was a surprise engagement, and the best one i could ask for! We were finally engaged come October 2017 , and started planning our wedding right away. I had everything planned, and i knew exactly what i wanted to do (thanks to pinterest!) Come to find out... that planning had to be put on hold! A few months later, we had Kyla Jae Zachery, and now we are finally back on track at this wedding! It has been a long couple years, and I can finally have the same last name as the rest of my family come May 18, 2019. We are only a couple months away from the best day of our lives!!! <3
