If you did not know.. we met on Twitter when Thomas saw some pictures on his timeline and decided to follow me! Brad (who I owe my marriage to who is our co best man) told Thomas he should go for it and message me regardless that we lived in 2 different states. He shortly after messaged me with a gif of Steph Curry shooting a basketball in my DMs and the rest they say is history! We met physically in person after about a month after talking everyday from sun up to sun down in september when my cousins (I also owe my marriage to them) and I decided to take a trip to Kennesaw, GA for a football game that my uncle was coaching and Thomas met me there because it was 2 hours from him and we spent the whole weekend together. We did not make it to the football game we watched Greys Anatomy instead.

We were long distance for our entire relationship. Facetime became our best friend and got us through the time apart. There were many flights and long drives back and forth to see each other. We usually saw each for a few days once a month. Lots of tears were shed for about a year and half, so after doing that for awhile I (Alayna who made this website so I'm biased) convinced Thomas that we should just bite the bullet and move in together. I lived in Sarasota, Florida and Thomas lives in Evans, Georgia and we looked at apartments in both places but I was ready to get out of Florida so I decided to move to Georgia to not have to be apart anymore because those flights were getting expensive. If you look at the date it was right when the pandemic hit so it was stressful but with the help of our families and friends we made it happen.

Thomas finally popped the question (after asking him for months if he would ever proposed and looking at rings for fun)! We had been living together for about 4 months and it had been nothing but fun! We got our puppy Deku during this time (which I had to beg and plead for). We had decided to take a day trip to Charlotte, North Carolina because the pandemic was getting to the both of us and looking at the same 4 walls was driving us insane. So we packed up and hit the road. We had the best time and had the most AMAZING food just enjoying each others company and remembering how much we loved each other. So what I didnt know really late that night he had texted his parents and asked them to get our apartment ready because he was going to propose once we got back from Charlotte. So on our drive back I had to use the bathroom so bad and that is all I could talk about not knowing thomas was replaying how he would ask me to be his wife in his head the whole way home. We get to our apartment and I run upstairs and to my surprise I open up the door and there are rose petals and a sign as soon as I walk in with candles lit up saying “Will you marry me” I obviously said yes! Thomas tried to get a speech out but he was too flustered but it was so perfect!
