Kami and I first met many years ago while I was dating one of her friends. It wasn’t your typical love story, but the friendship that developed during that time laid the foundation for what would eventually become our forever story. Fast forward to a decade later—our paths crossed again thanks to a simple comment on an Instagram story Kami posted. What started as a harmless interaction soon turned into our first date in Nashville. Three months later, it turned into our first family vacation together. Anyone who knew me knew how serious I was, especially given my fear of flying and general aversion to spontaneity. Yet, I bought a last-minute plane ticket for a trip to Rosemary Beach the day before I left. From there, we began officially dating, even though we were still long distance. Six months later, Kami made the brave decision (or, depending on your perspective, the easy choice, considering Searcy, AR) to move to Nashville. Five months after that, I asked Kami to make me the happiest man in the world. Now, we’re beyond excited to begin this next chapter of our lives together, and we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you!
