In 2015, we started high school at Ridgeland High School as members of the Honor's Academy. We embarked on a long journey of homework, honors classes, AP test, and calculus, which resulted in an everlasting friendship. In the fall of 2019, we both started college at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC). Finally, in 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, we began our relationship!

On January 5, 2021, we, along with our dog Pumpkin, went to the Battlefield Park for an afternoon picnic. While watching Pumpkin run, listing to music, and enjoying the sunshine, we thought about how lucky we are to have each other, and there was no doubt, we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together!
