William and Emily "met" in August 2017. Their first time meeting they talked for hours outside of the University of Mary Washington and immediately made plans to meet again. Upon talking, they realized that they had actually met before and had been going to the same church for all of their lives! Since then, they have been inseparable. On April 11, 2020 William asked Emily to marry her at the Natural Bridge in Virginia. Emily had no idea! They are very excited to begin their lives together and are looking forward to having everyone together to celebrate their big day!
