Tim and Carrie met when Carrie's keys managed to get locked in her car. Carrie feared telling her dad so she proceeded to knock on a strangers door to ask, "do any of you guys happen to know how to break into a car?" Tim and all of his roommates arrived in the parking lot to attempt to unlock the car using a coat hanger. Hours later, one of Tim's roommates was able to break into the car and free the keys! A week goes by and Tim had yet to "make a move" until Carrie practically conned him into letting her come over to get doggy loving from his roommates pup. From there, they developed a friendship but went separate ways. Nearly a year and a half went by when their paths crossed again.

The day of the proposal was Carrie's birthday. Tim and Carrie were on their way to celebrate with friends over dinner at a local restaurant in Statesboro, Georgia. Tim took an extra long way around town to get to the restaurant. Instead of going straight to the restaurant, he parked at Sweet Heart Circle. He disguised stopping by saying that we were stopping to take pictures because that is something I valued. Carrie and Tim were at the entrance of the park when Carrie's parents walked up the side walk. Tim had planned for Carrie's parents to surprise her and to take the birthday pictures, only soon it wouldn't just be a birthday being celebrated. As they were walking down the sidewalk, hand in hand, Tim turned and stopped in front of Carrie. Tim then got down on one knee and asked the big question. YES was followed by many hugs, laughs and kisses.
