We are absolutely over the moon and can't wait to celebrate with all the people we love! We will be getting married on Reece's Nanny's property, Shallow Springs Farm. This is such a special place for us, and we are so blessed to be able to host our big day here. Nanny's place was actually where we first met back in 2008 and has been a place we both feel like home at. We've made lots of memories here throughout the years and couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else! We are so thankful for everyone of you and all the love and support you've poured into us and our relationship. This has been a long time coming and well worth the wait, and we plan to celebrate accordingly! We can't wait to share the best night ever with all our family and friends as we start our journey as Husband and Wife! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for joining us on our wedding day, see you all very soon! All our love, The Future Abernathys

Reece and I met in 2008 after my parents and I moved to Atlanta from Houston, Texas. Our new next door neighbor here was actually his cousin Meghan who introduced us shortly after we moved in. She brought me to Nanny's and introduced me to Reece and his friend Tyler. At the time we went to different schools so hanging out was tough and I eventually made some friends from my school and life happened and we grew a bit distant and went our separate ways for a while. But when we all reached High school we reunited at McEachern and those friendships rekindled. Me and Reece became pretty close again, around the end of sophomore year. We began hanging out more and going to gatherings together. We flirted a lot but never thought it would turn into anything. We went to the NYE party during our junior year at his parents house, we were there "together" but had just started seeing each other for about a week so nothing serious. We all spent the night there and went to the New Years Day mud bog at 5 am, I rode with Reece in his old brown truck and sat in the middle seat of his bench seat. His friends rode together in their truck behind us and as we were waiting in line to get in his friend Gant calls him on his phone and I can hear them all telling Reece to "just kiss her" and I look at him and giggle. He hangs up and looks at me and says "my friends think I should kiss you" and I replied "well that should be okay I guess if you did" and we had our very first kiss and the rest is history! After that day we spent the next two months texting everyday, hanging out all the time and just getting to know each other better. We just knew at that point we weren't interested in dating other people, and that was the beginning of our relationship. It's so crazy how God's plan brings people back together because we had no idea when we met that day in 2008 that we would end up together, and soon become Husband and Wife... but God knew.
