Believe it or not, our love story began on the sandy shores of the Gulf Coast at the legendary Flora-Bama Mullet Toss! Introduced through mutual friends and surrounded by sunshine, laughter, and maybe a few tequila shots, we hit it off instantly. What started as a carefree day on the beach quickly turned into something unforgettable. From that moment on, we’ve been inseparable—and the rest, as they say, is history.

Early morning, we were walking along the beach on our trip in St. Petersburg, Florida, looking for shells for George’s daughter, Brooklyn. I was a few steps ahead when George called out, “Hey honey, turn around and look at this shell!” When I turned, I couldn’t believe my eyes—the ring box was in the sand, and George was down on one knee. Surrounded by the waves, the sunshine, and a little bit of surprise, it was the perfect start to our forever.
