It all started in Myrtle Beach, SC when our families were both on vacation at Lakewood Campground in 2012. From the moment we took our first golf cart ride together, we knew something was special! Even though we lived in different states, we had to see each other again. After many trips back and forth from West Virginia to North Carolina and almost every summer together at Lakewood, we knew we could make it work. Through all the years of hour long Skype calls, text messages and calls back and forth, every long weekend or school break spent traveling to see the other, years spent together and apart, Brandon finally moved to Greensboro, NC in January of 2018 and found an amazing job. Brandon and I adopted a dog together and named her Maggie in February, and the three of us have been inseparable ever since! In July of 2019, we took our first trip abroad together to Europe. On the rocky beaches of Nice, France, Brandon finally asked me to marry him! The sound of the waves and the salty ocean air has such a significance for us because not only did we meet at the beach, spend all of our summers there together, but we also got engaged on a beach in France. We cannot wait to share our vows and start our forever together on the beautiful beaches of Ocean Isle!
