Ethan and Emily met in 2015 in Nashville, Tennessee at the church they both attended. It wasn’t until Summer of 2017 that they actually gave each other the time of day. They formed such a fun friendship over the phone, shared music with one another, facetimed one another and Emily vented about other boys to Ethan. Little did they know, just about a year later Ethan would be the boy Emily needed to talk about with her friends. After laying under the stars in June 2018, it took a lot of patience from Ethan and some time for Emily, and they finally went on their first date, canoeing, in August 2018. From there the rest is history (well kinda). Being best friends turned into a deep love and care for one another and they proceeded to do distance for the first year of their relationship. They got to do ministry together in the mountains in 2019, guiding and growing with each other. They wanted to live life in-person with each other so Emily moved to Arkansas to be close to Ethan as he finished out school. October 24, 2020, Ethan popped the question and Emily cried a whole lot. Since then, they’ve been in the throws of planning big-picture and small details for their wedding. They are so excited to share this day with the people that mean the most to them, including you! Em and Ethan wouldn’t be where they are today without the love and support of their loved ones. Their hope is that you would feel included and valued in their lives and on this day.
