Welcome to our story.

Carrie and Luke have an interesting love story that most people do not know. When Carrie was 16, at the time her best friend was dating Luke's older brother. They would all hang out and spend most weekends together having get-togethers with some friends. Prior to that, Carrie was friends with Luke's cousins, Josh and Nathan. When Carrie first became friends with Luke she knew there was something special about him. Luke always knew how to make her laugh and smile. After a while being friends, Luke and Carrie went their separate ways because life happened and Carrie went to school and Luke went off to start his own business with his brother. Luke always managed to find a way to invite her to things and find a way to see her. One night while Carrie was at dinner with her mom, she told her mom she never thought she would get married and Carrie's mom said, "why don't you date a boy like Luke Hinman" and so, Carrie texted him. Kind of a funny and cliche story, but it's their story. From there they promised each other one thing, if they were going to come back into each others lives, it was going to be forever. So here they are, years later, planning their wedding and starting their lives together. I'm sure Carrie's mom never thought her comment would come this far, but she is happy to have Luke join their family. There is so much more to that story, but they will leave it at that. Two kids from a small town, who found their way back to each other and here they are, getting married.

Luke and Carrie had been talking about marriage for a while. One December night they were Christmas shopping for their families. They came home to wrap presents and Carrie was giving Luke a pile of gifts to wrap. He goes, "well if I have to wrap these gifts, then you have to wrap this" and handed her the ring. Her first reaction was, "are you serious? Does my mom know!!" He then proceeded to ask if she would answer or just keep asking questions LOL. Of course, she said YES!
