How We Met

Hiking, Social Media, and Two Handsome Men...

We met like most these days...on social media. Michael was in the Asheville area hiking the Appalachian trail. Caleb was living in the area. And both were looking for that special someone.

The Proposal

It All Started With A Little Nugget

For many of you that know us, neither of us like to keep things traditional. So with that in mind, our proposal was one we will never forget.... The day had started like many Saturday mornings. We had made our ritual weekend morning run to the farm supply store to restock on feed for the chickens and goats. Before heading back home, we decided to make a pit stop at Chick-Fil-A.... What we like to call in the south "The Lords Chicken". The order was placed, delivered to the car window, and we sat there eating and talking. Something about that moment just felt right...You see little did Michael know, Caleb had purchased rings but they hadn't arrived yet. In a haste, Caleb went in for the proposal using a chicken nugget instead of a ring. And guess what.... he said yes! 😜
