This is where it all started! Sigma Phi Lambda date party on April 10th, 2015. We were such babies!

Even from the beginning, funny faces were our strong suit :P

First picture together as a couple, a year and a half after that date party! This is at the Christmas party for Navs, the campus ministry we were in during college.

Ariana took Mark on a date to see the Opryland Christmas lights as a study break from finals! And we returned 3 years later to celebrate our engagement :)

Cooking together in college! This is something we still love to do together, although Mark is a much better cook than Ariana. Also, we are not wearing matching shirts here; we're not THAT couple :P

Okay, sometimes we are THAT couple...jk we're still not, Ariana changed out of this shirt as soon as she realized she and Mark were matching!

We love to hike and explore the beautiful Tennessee mountains and countryside! This is on the Natchez Trace Parkway, where we celebrated our 1-year anniversary.

We also love adventuring and pretending we're cooler than we are.

When it snows a few inches in Nashville, everything shuts down and it's the perfect time to play in the snow! We're very proud of our little snowman :)

We can be pretty silly sometimes...okay, a lot of the time :P

To infinity...and beyond!

Celebrating Ariana's graduation from Vanderbilt in May of 2017!

And celebrating Mark's graduation a year later :)

Instead of a typical proposal, we had a wonderful engagement ceremony with our families and close friends. We're so grateful we could share this special moment with people we love!

All smiles because we're officially engaged, not just mentally engaged!

Our families got to hang out in December, and they got along so well! We're excited to join our two families together :)

They're as excited as we are!!

Attempt at a re-creation of the 16-going-on-17 scene from The Sound of Music, which was Ariana's favorite movie growing up.

We learned to waltz one time and sometimes we break out into a clumsy attempt of this beautiful dance!

Shoutout to the CBC youth group for teaching us how to do "the woah!" We love y'all and enjoy all the time we get to spend with y'all :)

Ariana once impressed her students by "hitting the woah" for them. It was a good day.

Aaaaand, caught it :)

Enjoy some of our other favorites from our engagement shoot :) Thanks again, Angel!

Oh ya know, just having a deep conversation by the coi pond.

Mark did such a good job picking out the ring!

"A whole new woooooorrrrrlllldddd!!!!"

Coming at July 18th like:

"I see you!" (It was Mark's idea to pose around the tree, getting those Bollywood vibes.)

Another beautiful pic of the ring :)

Model status

Aaaand, back to reality. But hey, when you can be your annoying and gross self around the other person, that's how you know you've found a keeper :)
