Our Classic Wedding in Our Classic City

Davis and I met in the spring of 2011 at the University of Georgia's G-Day spring football game! He lived in Durham, North Carolina and I lived in Athens, Georgia. But Davis and his family have always loved Georgia football and traveled to Athens for almost every game. We kept in touch but didn't reunite until the summer of 2014 when he had moved to Athens and I was home from college for the summer. We got closer and began dating February 26, 2016. We successfully maintained a long distance relationship until spring 2017 when I moved back to Athens after graduating. One of my favorite things about Davis is his ability to make every moment we spend together precious, whether we haven’t seen each other in a couple of weeks or we have spent all our time together. We have successfully jumped so many hurdles and I truly believe that God brought us back together so that we could love each other endlessly.

Davis and I are not secret keepers, we don't like surprises, and we tell each other exactly what we want as gifts. So I knew that he was going to propose soon, but I didn't know when and it drove me crazy! The evening of June 28th, Davis picked me up for dinner and said he wanted to go to an Italian restaurant downtown and I wasn't thrilled because I wanted to go to that same restaurant on Timothy Road, but he convinced me. Once we had parked, Davis walked me over to the UGA Chapel on North Campus and got down on one knee right beside the victory bell. He asked me to marry him and we rang that victory bell together. It is no coincidence that we will be married in that same chapel!
