It all started in the winter of 2017 when fate brought us together at two neighboring colleges in Virginia. Preston was a senior at Virginia Military Institute (VMI), and Hannah was a freshman at Washington and Lee University (W&L). Little did we know that the first spark would be ignited on an unassuming trip to Walmart! (Yes, really! Ask us about it when you see us!) That first date may have been unconventional, but it was the start of something extraordinary. Through Hannah's three degrees and moving constantly as Preston dove into real estate investing, we became a strong team, enjoying and thriving in the chaos! And amidst all of that, we had the crazy idea of getting a puppy together. It turned out to be the best decision we ever made! Ziva joined the family in February 2022, bringing even more joy and love to our lives. Finally, we moved in together, and that was when it truly felt like home. In July 2023, after years of adventures, laughter, and love, Preston asked Hannah the question that would mark the beginning of the rest of our lives. Of course, Hannah said "Yes!" And now, after taking our sweet time to plan the perfect celebration, we are beyond excited to finally make our commitment official. As we approach 06.07.25, we can’t wait to say “I do” surrounded by the people we love most—our closest friends and family who have supported us on this incredible journey!
