The Beginning of Forever

Abby and Levi met when Abby was home from college for Christmas break during her sophomore year of college. After being set up by friends, the two talked for a little while before Levi planned their first date: dinner at Outback, followed by driving around looking at Christmas lights. From that night on, they were pretty much inseparable. Only nine months after meeting, they went through a year-long deployment with very little contact, but the distance only made their relationship stronger. Even through the challenges, they stayed committed to each other and came out even closer than before. A few years later, Levi proposed to Abby at Castlewood State Park the day before she graduated from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, making one of the biggest weekends of their lives even more unforgettable. Now they’re excited to celebrate the next chapter with all of their favorite people.
