Daniel and Ava’s love story began in the fall of 2022. Ava was visiting friends in Statesboro, Georgia, while Daniel was a Sophomore at Georgia Southern University. The two met on campus and have been inseparable ever since. In September of 2022, Daniel and Ava made things official. Despite Ava living in Ringgold, Georgia, at the time, the two never doubted that their relationship would flourish. After countless FaceTime calls, empty gas tanks, and many road trips, Ava was finally able to join Daniel in his lovely coastal town, known as Bluffton, South Carolina. While having a long distance relationship taught them many practical lessons such as patience, kindness, and communication, it is an understatement to say that the couple was overjoyed that the long distance chapter of their book had finally come to a close. They never looked back. Upon moving to Bluffton, the couple welcomed their first son, a four-legged golden retriever, Bibby. Bibby is named after Daniel’s hometown, Macon, Georgia (Bibb County). In April 2024, Daniel proposed to Ava in Nashville, Tennessee. With this new chapter of their life beginning, the couple opted to take a leap of faith and move to Knoxville, Tennessee, where they now reside. Daniel and Ava are continuing to grow together, but most importantly, growing in their faith. The best is yet to come! 1 John 4:19
