How We Met

Anthony and I met in 2016 during our undergraduate years at the University of Tennessee. One weekend out on the town with friends, he walked up to me very confidently and introduced himself. The connection was instant, and we continued to run into each other around campus over the next few weeks. Anthony and I attended a couple of formal events together that semester and both knew we had found something special. We have been inseparable ever since! We recently moved into our new home in Murfreesboro with our precious pup, Banjo.

The Proposal

Over the weeks leading up to Christmas in 2019, Anthony claimed he had a "surprise event" planned for me. I didn't think much of it, since he has always loved to surprise me with thoughtful gestures throughout our relationship. When we pulled up to the Gaylord Opryland Hotel that night, I assumed we were starting the night by walking through my favorite Christmas lights. Little did I know that Anthony had planned a proposal under the Crystal Gazebo. After the most special proposal I could have imagined, both of our families came out of hiding for a champagne toast. The festivities continued with an engagement party back at Anthony's parent's house. We are so grateful to both of our families for making us feel so celebrated!
