After graduating, we both found ourselves in Charlotte, where our paths crossed through a small-world connection. Tanner happened to work with both my best friend from high school, Lindsey, and my best friend from college, Adrianne. Through them, we met, and what started as casual group hangouts quickly grew into something much more. We spent our time exploring the city, going on dates, and attending church together, which deepened both our relationship and our faith. As we prepared for an exciting new chapter purchasing our first home together in Raleigh, North Carolina we felt God leading us to make our commitment official. In February 2026, we exchanged vows at the courthouse. Now, we are so excited to celebrate and publicly reaffirm our vows and commitment to one another surrounded by our family and friends on May 28, 2027. This season of building a life together has been incredibly special, grounded in love, faith, and keeping God at the center of it all.
