Our Love Story

What began in 2016 with shy smiles as high school freshmen has grown into a love that’s carried us through every milestone—graduations, college, moving into our first place, and countless adventures along the way. On Valentine’s Day 2025, just after our nine-year anniversary, we hiked the Alum Trail in Gatlinburg. At a quiet overlook, Sage pulled out a ring and asked the question that changed everything. It was emotional, magical, and a moment we’ll never forget. Now we’re counting down to August 22nd, 2026—our wedding day! We’re so excited to celebrate surrounded by the family and friends who have been part of our journey from the very beginning.
