It's All Happening!

In the summer of 2012, Carrie was serving as a missionary in eastern Kentucky when J.T. went on a mission trip that summer with a church from his hometown. They hit it off right away and became fast friends. The next summer JT came back to eastern Kentucky on another mission trip (but really just to see Carrie). Fast forward to the summer of 2016. JT was in Chicago for a wedding and Carrie was serving as a summer missionary. That fall, Carrie started at Southern Seminary where JT was also studying. They two continued to stay good friends and finally had a conversation about dating in early June of 2018.

JT and Carrie knew pretty early on in their relationship that marriage was in their future. After six years of friendship they were already best friends. On October 26th, JT planned an entire day of surprises that was filled with letters and different events so that Carrie would feel extremely loved. JT took Carrie back to Lake Barkley where they spent time early in their relationship. When he got down on one knee, their families were there to celebrate with them and the rest is history!
