Celebrate the Marriage of

We met way back in 2017. She was a junior at Harding Academy, I was a senior at St. Benedict at Auburndale. She caught my eye one day when she followed me on Instagram and I "slid into her DMs." Little did I know that I was talking to the love of my life. I asked her to be my homecoming date, and the rest was history. I went off to Ole Miss and just never lost touch with her. I was ecstatic to hear she would be joining me in Oxford the next year. Fast forward through some fun parties, formals, and memories we will cherish forever and I graduated and got a job working at OrthoSouth in Memphis. She stayed in Oxford finishing out her senior year. I spent many weekends going down and visiting her in Oxford, attending some great football games and spending as much time together as we could. Living apart for a year was tough but I hoped this sacrifice would help solidify my dream of attending medical school. Thankfully, we only had to do this for a year because my medical school dream was about to come true. Courtney graduated, and started planning our move to Harrogate, TN for me to attend Lincoln Memorial University, DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine. Before we moved in 2022, we had a family trip planned to the Florida Keys. I asked her to marry me on a sunset cruise in Key West, and now we're finally sealing the deal. We spent 2 years living in rural Harrogate, TN in the beautiful East TN mountains. We made some more lifelong friends and before we knew it, those 2 years were over. Now she and I and our 2 cats are living in Paris, TN while I finish my last 2 years of clinical training for school. We are excited to start a new chapter in our lives together, officially!!
