We first crossed paths during our freshmen year at the University of Tennessee. We quickly became the best of friends, spending every single day together during our spring semester (51 days in a row, not that we are counting ;)). However, when the pandemic struck, we were forced to separate, finding ourselves 4 1/2 hours apart. During this trying time, we quickly realized just how much we relied on each other's presence. In April of 2020, we officially started dating. Within just a few short months, we were terrifying our parents by already talking about getting married and how Chattanooga would be the perfect place. Three football seasons later, and in April of 2022, Bryan finally asked Mckinsey to be his wife.
