Long story short, we were both the "one that got away" for each other during high school. (One of us may have potentially had a bigger crush on the other). Eventually, after we both finished college, we wound up back in Rome, GA at the same time and decided to give dating a shot. Turns out, it was the one and only shot we needed to take! Hunter's company transferred him to the Charlotte, NC office after we had only been dating for one month in 2017, but we decided we would make it work and figure it out. SO, after five very long years of long-distance dating, Mary Lyn (finally) moved to Charlotte, NC in August 2022 to be in the same city as Hunter. We've been better together ever since! Hunter proposed on February 11th, 2023 in Highlands, NC during a little Valentine's getaway. It was the most special weekend ever!
