a day to remember

Eight years ago, in 2017, Emma began her freshman year at UTC and Rashun started his sophomore year. Emma was on the UTC dance team and Rashun was on the football team. Inevitably their paths crossed and after years of running into each other at games, exchanging messages through social media, and seeing each other on campus they began dating. Before Rashun graduated with his master's in engineering and Emma graduated with a bachelor's in nursing, the couple spent almost all of their time together. Rashun strengthened Emma’s love for food by showing her his favorite food spots in the town where he was raised. Emma kept him on his toes constantly suggesting a new adventure, and taking him skydiving for his 24th birthday. In 2024 Rashun’s work caused the two to relocate together to Memphis, TN where their love and bond grew. They spent weekend after weekend visiting new churches, restaurants and learning more about the city that they now call home. Their days became filled with all the little things that they could enjoy much more now that they were together. Mundane tasks became shared adventures as they enjoyed the simple pleasure of each other's company. On October 12, 2024, a little over three years after they began dating, Rashun got on one knee and asked Emma to spend the rest of their lives together. Emma’s family drove to Chattanooga and Rashun’s family welcomed them into their home to surprise Emma with the most special engagement party she could’ve ever imagined. After years of learning from one another, growing, and falling in love, the two have decided to begin a new journey of marriage. On May 31, 2025, the two will say “I do” as they step into a new chapter. Rashun and Emma would love nothing more than to have you there to celebrate their special day.
