It all began in 2017 at Clemson University, when fate (and a required math class) brought Courtney and Finn together. They became fast friends over their many shared classes before becoming a couple, and spent two years together on campus—filled with Tiger pride, weekends at the Pier, and a whole lot of love. When graduation came, life took us in different directions—but not apart. We began our long-distance chapter, stretching across cities and time zones for four years. It wasn’t always easy, but it taught us patience, strengthened our bond, and made every reunion feel like home. In 2023, Courtney made the big move to join Finn—and just like that, long-distance became everyday life together. A little over a year later, while walking down the beach at Surfside, Finn got down on one knee and asked the question they both knew was coming. And she said yes! Now we can’t wait to say “I do” and begin this next chapter—side by side, for good.
