We met at their best friends’ wedding—definitely one of those serendipitous moments. Our first date was at Sassafras Winery, where we spent hours talking, laughing, and realizing we might have stumbled onto something really special. We officially started dating on July 10, 2021, and over the next year, our relationship grew stronger—even through long distance. We made it work with weekend visits, late-night FaceTimes, and lots of love. In the summer of 2022, Bri made the big move to Fayetteville, and life together finally began in the same zip code. We’ve shared so many adventures since then—road trips, cozy nights in, learning each other’s quirks, and building a life full of love, laughter, and teamwork. Then, on July 4, 2024, he popped the question (with literal fireworks that evening), and of course, it was a big, happy yes. We’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter with all of you—our favorite people!
