We met through our tribal community over 6 years ago. We spent those years as friends, building a solid foundation and became an "official" couple in June 2018 at a tribal event. We have spent the last year in a long distance relationship while Chris has been in grad school in Arkansas and Elizabeth has been working and raising Sophia in Florida. After receiving permission from our community and families, Chris proposed to Elizabeth in just above freezing rain on top of Mount Sequoyah, overlooking Fayetteville. Our wedding weekend will be quite the cultural event, we plan to have a traditional Creek wedding on Saturday, August 3th in Blountstown and a Catholic ceremony on August 4th in Apalachicola. We are so excited for our future!
