Drew and I met on a night out when we were in college. We both attended USC Upstate and we had a ton of mutual friends but somehow did not meet each other until Drew's last semester of college in March of 2012 (shout out to him for being a 5th year senior!). Drew finally asked me out on our first date and we officially started dating in July 2012! Fast forward 2 years, I graduated from USC Upstate and moved back to Columbia while Drew stayed living in Greenville. For 3 years, we drove back and forth seeing each other and planning our weekends. In 2016, Drew finally moved to Columbia and our relationship has been growing stronger ever since!

Drew surprised me with tickets to the Biltmore House for Christmas. We had always talked about going to the Biltmore house, since we had started dating in 2012, but never made the trip. When he gave me the tickets, I was so excited! The entire time we were there, everything seemed super normal and I normally can tell when Drew is nervous! When we were going to leave I told him I wanted to take a picture in front of the house. He asked a random person to take our picture. Next thing you know, he was down on one knee asking me to marry him! Of course, I SAID YES!!
