Dustin and Hannah met in August of 2015 during freshman orientation at Appalachian State University. Right away, they bonded over their shared goofy sense of humor—something that has been at the heart of their relationship ever since. From the very beginning, Dustin had a knack for making everyday things, like studying or grocery shopping, feel fun and lighthearted. Hannah, in turn, always knew how to lift the mood with her quick wit and infectious laughter. As their friendship deepened, so did their connection. Long conversations revealed how aligned they were in their values, goals, and hopes for the future. But Hannah really knew Dustin was the one when, after a long day of classes, he willingly carried her—backpack full of books and all, a quarter mile uphill, to her dorm because her new shoes were giving her blisters. (He still claims it was the Appalachian incline training that sealed the deal.) Even as broke college students, they found joy and laughter in the simple moments. Now, years later, they're excited to celebrate the next chapter of their story with the people who’ve supported them along the way.
