Our love story began in the most "convenient" of ways – thanks to some sneaky friends and a shared love for ice cream. It all started after a small church community gathering where we first met. As weeks passed, we started spending more time together, and it didn't take long for our friends to dub us the "perfect match." One sunny Sunday, our friends orchestrated a clever plan during lunch at a restaurant next door to the church. They ensured there were two conveniently empty seats, strategically placing us side by side. With a little nudge and a shared humor, we talked, laughed, and got to know each other better. We shared a chuckle over Mallory's favorite music artist, and Greg seized the moment to promise a follow-up text — a clever excuse to keep the conversation going! After a few days, Greg finally mustered the courage to ask Mallory out, and our first date was a delightful dinner followed by our favorite indulgence – ice cream. From there, our love story scooped its way into something beautiful, one sweet moment at a time.
Our love story is like a plot straight out of a spy movie. With Mallory's family gathering in Destin for a weekend, we found the ideal proposal spot near their family condo, a place filled with cherished memories. The whole week leading up to it, we managed to keep the ring, photographers, and the grand plan a secret from Mallory. While we were "planning" to have dinner at a fancy restaurant with everyone, an impromptu detour was suggested to check out houses near the proposal spot on a golf cart. When we arrived, Mallory and Greg got off to explore the area, and that's when our family's surprise transformation of the area became apparent. As Greg dropped to one knee, a shocked Mallory, hearing the camera shutters, managed to say "yes" in the midst of all the excitement. This unforgettable moment marked the start of our happily ever after.
