How It Started

Aaron and Kristin met through a mutual friend, Freddie Jones in 2012 while attending Jackson State University. He and Kristin never were interested in each other romantically so they remained platonic friends for the following 6 years.

The Begining of A&K

In 2018, Aaron and Kristin began spending more time with one another. They'd often times go to the movies and pig out on the concession food; they would also meet up at Aaron's home in the country to ride ATV's and feed the cows. During that year, something clicked between the two of them and romantic feelings began to evolve. In 2019, Aaron and Kristin made their relationship official.

The Engagement

The week of Christmas 2021, Kristin was diagnosed with COVID-19. This ruined Aaron's plan of a grand proposal in front of close friends and family. On Christmas morning while opening gifts, Aaron handed Kristin her gift. She thought it was a necklace that she had been wanting for months. He got down on one knee as she opened the ring box and asked her to be his forever. SHE SAID YES!

The Wedding Day

Aaron and Kristin took over a year to plan their wedding! They planned every detail to their liking. They will exchange vows on Saturday, June 3, 2023 with their closest friends and family.
