We met our freshman year at Berry College when Thanasi's hallmate, Mitchell Norden (Best Man), had a crush on my hallmate, Mekayla Mekara (now Norden). Thanasi said this is where the crush began, while I was oblivious. We became best friends and enjoyed several Frozen sing alongs and late night McDonalds runs.
After Thanasi transferred back to Tampa, we had seen each other once over a span of 4 and a half years. We remained in touch, and after an invite to join him on a visit to Mekayla and Mitchell in Mississippi, we finally reunited. I convinced him to check out a law school in Nashville.
A couple of months later, Thanasi visited Nashville. After a dinner of Nashville hot chicken over mac n cheese, we shared our first kiss during the final credits of Frozen. While walking through Opryland, we decided to make it official.
We took some friends to see the Christmas lights at Opryland. While taking pictures in our favorite spot, he got down on one knee and popped the question. And lucky for us, there's video evidence!
