We're getting married!

It all started with a funny t-shirt. He posted asking if he should buy it, and by chance, I already had the exact same one — so of course, I sent him a picture wearing it. That one little message turned into conversation after conversation, and before we knew it, we were talking nonstop. Our first date was a blur of nerves, Chick-fil-A, and a little chaos. I had just come from soccer practice, he’d been helping build something, and I barely had time to rinse off before scadattling to meet him. After dinner, we went to his youth service at church, and from that night on, something just clicked. Once we started dating, we were inseparable. We spent nearly every day together unless he was sick. Even when I went away to UNC Charlotte, the distance just made it clearer how much we missed each other. It didn’t take long before I came home, and we decided to take on college — and life — side by side at UNC Asheville. By the time August 7th rolled around, I already knew he was the one. We were on a family beach trip to Murrells Inlet when he got down on one knee in the sand, right in front of the water. His family was acting a little too suspicious, so I knew something was up, but I didn't know what. In that moment, surrounded by love and laughter, everything felt right. From a shared sense of humor to shared dreams, we’ve built our story on faith, laughter, and being completely ourselves. And now, we can’t wait to start the next chapter — forever. 💍
