It was September 1st, 2017. The first day of school at The University of Alabama. The air was humid, the campus was buzzing… and Adam, a strapping young man from Kentucky, was on a mission. He needed a date for his fraternity date party. Not just any date, of course. He was searching for someone unique, intelligent, compassionate, funny, confident, and obviously GORGEOUS (although, you know… looks aren’t everything). The list was ambitious. Hope was fading. Until a friend said, “I think I might know just the girl…” Meanwhile, Emma had just moved back into the Gamma Phi Beta house after spending the summer at home in New York. She was unpacking, settling into sophomore year, and ready to conquer whatever was next. When a friend casually asked if she had plans that night, Emma replied with curiosity, “No… what do you have in mind?” And just like that, a blind date was set. That date turned into late-night talks, inside jokes, and a relationship neither of them saw coming, but quickly couldn’t imagine life without. Emma and Adam have been living life side by side ever since. From date parties in Tuscaloosa to trips to the Florida Keys, New Orleans, New York, and Kentucky — they’ve made a habit of saying yes to adventure (and to each other). After graduating in 2020, they navigated the world together through a very unexpected COVID era. In 2021, Adam moved to California, and Emma eventually joined him, where they filled their days with sunshine, travel, and countless memories. But the East Coast was calling… In the summer of 2025, they packed up once again and moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where they now live, laugh, and patiently wait for Nick Saban to announce he’s coming out of retirement. Through every move, every trip, and every season of life, one thing has stayed the same: they choose each other.
