We met at the University of Arkansas! Our friendship started when we both went on a mission trip with our church to Thailand and Cambodia. We became pals over Thai food during hot summer days all the way across the world. We were close friends over the next couple of years, but then on the first day of the last semester of senior year, Shep asked EJ out on a date - after a couple glasses of wine and a Sonic blast the rest was history!
We got engaged in Dallas on New Year's Eve and celebrated into 2022 with friends and family! After having Covid over Christmas and plans having to change, our engagement couldn't have been more special. We are so excited to begin this next chapter and cannot wait to get married this year!
