Anna and Eric first met during their freshman year at Liberty University—funny enough, in Chemistry class. What started as a simple classroom connection grew into a friendship by Halloween, and before long, something more. On February 6th, 2023, Eric asked Anna to be his girlfriend, and their story truly began. On September 10th, 2024, Anna and Eric’s relationship entered a new chapter when Eric left Liberty to begin his journey in the U.S. Air Force. Though being long-distance was difficult, they stayed close at heart through countless letters and plenty of cat memes (Anna’s special touch). They longed for the miles between them to grow smaller. After Eric completed his training in Texas and Mississippi, he graduated and was stationed close to home—bringing them back together at last. Not long after, Anna and Eric’s greatest “yes” came yet: they’re engaged! They can’t wait to celebrate their happily ever after with you on May 23rd, 2026.
