John and Carlie first met when hanging out with Carlie's brother, Tyler, the weekend of the Shrimp Boil in 2011 at Carlie and Tyler's house. After a few months of getting to know each other, John and Carlie started dating. To say "the rest is history" is a bit of an understatement as a whole 10, almost, 11 years has since passed and these two fall even more in love with each passing day. John has introduced Carlie to hunting and fishing, which she never thought that she would enjoy, but it has become their favorite thing to do together. Fast forward to the year of 2021, John and Carlie got some exciting news that they would be expecting their first baby!! At which point, John decided he had made Carlie wait long enough and he was ready to pop the question! First come love, then a home, then the most perfect baby girl, now MARRIAGE!!
