Our Story

Our story began during our first semester at the University of South Alabama, where we met through mutual friends and quickly became part of each other’s college experience. Though we crossed paths early on, it wasn’t until our second semester that God brought us back together in a way that changed everything. On February 13, 2023, we started dating and began writing our story side by side. We spent two unforgettable semesters in Mobile, growing closer and making memories, before God called us into a season of trust. When Payton transferred to a college six hours away, our relationship became long distance. For two years, we learned to rely on faith, patience, and prayer. We trusted that God was working even when the distance felt heavy. In the summer of 2025, God opened the door to a new chapter. Halle moved with Payton to his next school, and together we began life in a brand new city. Closing the distance reminded us that God’s timing is always perfect, and every step of our journey was preparing us for this next season. Guided by God through every season, we found our home in each other and look forward to a lifetime as husband and wife.
