We're getting married!

It all began in 2017 at the University of New Orleans, during a time of transition and ambition. Jeremy, a pre-dental student with dreams of becoming a dentist, and Savannah, determined to pursue a career in medicine, were navigating the start of their academic journeys. They were both single, focused, and fully immersed in their goals-until fate gently intervened. In a large lecture hall filled with over a hundred students, Jeremy noticed Savannah. By sheer coincidence-or perhaps destiny- they not only sat near each other in class but were also placed in the same lab section. Out of countless combinations of days and times, theirs aligned. As lab partners, their bond grew from shared concentration and light-hearted banter to a genuine friendship grounded in respect and admiration. Their connection deepened outside the classroom. After a casual beer at their favorite local spot, Juan's, Jeremy asked Savannah to be his date to a wedding. What started as a simple invitation sparked the beginning of their love story. Their journey wasn't without challenges. As their undergraduate years unfolded, they studied side by side, comforted each other through exhausting finals, and held tight through long periods of physical distance. Despite the miles and missed moments, they never lost sight of each other. They graduated together in 2019 with degrees in biology-side by side, just as they had always been. But life after graduation brought even more tests. Jeremy poured himself into dental school applications, leaning on Savannah for encouragement through every setback and success. Her unwavering support helped guide him into LSU School of Dentistry. Soon after, Savannah made a courageous decision-to follow her heart and change her path from medicine to veterinary science. Jeremy's support never wavered. He believed in her dreams as deeply as she believed in his. Then came a day neither of them will forget. In December 2023, Savannah opened her email to find an unexpected message-she had been accepted to LSU School of Veterinary Medicine. Overcome with joy and disbelief, her first call was to Jeremy. The relief and happiness they felt were immeasurable. After years of uncertainty and sacrifice, they could finally build a future together, in the same state, pursuing the careers they once only dreamed of. And that future began to take shape on June 22, 2024, when Jeremy proposed to Savannah in the most romantic surprise she could have imagined. After six years of growth, sacrifice, laughter, and enduring love, he asked her to be his forever. Their story is a testament to timing, trust, and the kind of love that grows stronger with every challenge. It's a reminder that sometimes, when you're not even looking, love finds you-and it becomes everything you never knew you needed.
