We're getting married!

Cade and Bailey went to the same high school and knew of each other, but never actually talked. Years later, Bailey reached out on social media. Cade answered right away, only for Bailey to completely ignore him. A month later, she tried again, Cade replied immediately once more (lol) , and this time, it stuck. Their first date was April 30, 2020, at Biloxi Beach, complete with random snacks, great music, long conversations, a sunset by the water, and singing with the windows down on the drive home. Since they met during COVID, many of their early dates involved the beach, and they clicked almost instantly. Bailey was in Lafayette at UL and Cade was in Hammond at Southeastern, meaning they have always been long distance. Nearly every weekend included one of them making the drive to see the other, proving early on that this was something worth the miles. In July 2024, Cade proposed to Bailey on the beach in Destin, surrounded by both of their families and back where it all began. A few weeks later, Cade began his CFA journey and started traveling even more, making the distance greater but the love even stronger. Somewhere along the way, Bailey turned Cade into a cat lover and full time cat dad. They now share life with their two cat sons, Henry and William, and cannot wait to celebrate this next chapter with the people who have been cheering them on from the very beginning.
