Hailey and Brooks both attended Shorter University. A little school on a hill in Rome, Georgia. Hailey, a soccer player with hopes of one day becoming a veterinarian. Brooks, a football player with no idea what was in store. Despite living only a couple hundred feet apart in their dorm rooms for the first semester of Hailey’s freshman year, their paths never seemed to cross. So, like all GREAT love stories, this one truly begins on the glorious beaches of Panama City, Florida on spring break. Where, thanks to mutual friends, these two finally met. Brooks then spent the next couple of months convincing Hailey to give him a shot. Patience prevailed. Now as a team, they walked through the life of collegiate athletics together. From early morning practices to the road trips apart. From game day to exam day. Life was made better together. The challenge was made easier together. Then came December 30th, 2017. Central Park, New York City. What started off as just a carriage ride through the park ended with a promise of forever and always. Now they are enjoying the early stages of the real world. Hailey, recently began her career in nursing at Wellstar Kennestone in the ER. Brooks, juggling project management and an aspiring broadcasting career. Excited for what life has in store, Hailey and Brooks side by side, Forever and Always.
