How We Met

Middle School Sweethearts

Our story goes back as far as the 7th grade! We both were in the same math class in the 7th grade at Awtrey Middle School. Life soon took us in different directions as well as in different schools, but we always remained friends. We always kept up with each other through social media, and soon in 2016 we found our way back to each other. After freshman year at Valdosta State University, Heather moved back to Atlanta and we FINALLY started dating. We started talking May 30th, 2016, made it official on October 30th 2016, and he put a ring on it on October 3rd 2020.

The Proposal

Brandon, Rem, and I all went to Gatlinburg as a short trip in October of 2020, just for, what I thought, was a fun family trip with Remmie. We decided to spend the day at the Great Smokey Mountains, and on one of the trails we were on there was a waterfall by a bridge. We thought we would go down to take pictures, and Brandon had the idea to set up the phone so all three of us would be in the picture. I turn around to look for areas around to stand, and I turn around and see Brandon on one knee. It was perfect in every way, and was a BEAUTIFUL location. It was incredible to have our pup there for the engagement. I was completely shocked, which I thought would be impossible. We proceeded to just enjoy our trip, with a few breweries as well as a famous steakhouse that rem could eat at as well ! It was perfect.
