We officially met in October of 2013 during a music festival in Asheville, NC. From there, we messaged each other afterwards for months and hung out “just as friends” in our small college town. One night, at a party at the infamous “blue house”, Christian came over and made it clear that he was interested in being more than friends. I felt the same way, so we started officially dating in 2014 and have been on a wild ride ever since! We’ve explored together. We’ve adopted dogs and other animals together. We’ve moved from the mountains to Charlotte, NC together. We’ve bought a house together. AND NOW WE ARE GETTING MARRIED!!! After nearly seven years of dating, Christian planned the best proposal disguised as a friendly bbq at our home on November 7, 2020. I didn’t even have to think when he asked me to marry him because I’ve been ready to say yes the whole time we have been dating. I knew Christian was my person and now we get to make it official! #MarthafoundherKing
