Our love story began in college, within the walls of the Governor's Dorm at ETSU during our freshman year. From the start, we were friends navigating the exciting journey of university life, all while harboring a sweet, unspoken crush on each other. As the years unfolded, our connection deepened, and in December 2019, the stars aligned, paving the way for us to transition from friends to something more. Just as our love story was blossoming, the world faced unprecedented challenges with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was during this uncertain time that we made the bold decision to take the next big step – moving in together. Little did we know, this would become the ultimate test for our budding relationship, and we not only survived but thrived. Upon completing our undergraduate degrees, we chose to remain in Johnson City, where Ben began his career in nursing and I pursued my master's degree. Two years of hard work and many shared milestones later, we set our sights on a new chapter in Knoxville. It was here that we found our dream home, a space we've lovingly filled with laughter, joy, and countless shared memories. Now, we invite you to witness the next beautiful chapter of our journey. We eagerly anticipate the moment we'll walk down the aisle surrounded by the warmth of our family and friends. Your presence will make our special day even more memorable, filled with love, laughter, and the promise of a beautiful future together. We can't wait to share this joyous occasion with you! Mark your calendars for 8/24/24 at Greenwood Oaks Venue & Gardens in Afton, TN!
