Savannah and Thomas are both alumni of the same high school. Savannah graduated in 2011, and Tommy in 2012. But their story doesn't start until almost ten years after they both left their hometown. It was September, 2021 at a University of Michigan tailgate when the spark was lit. Through a string of college friends, Savannah and Tommy ended up in the right place at the right time. By the time the game was starting, and the tailgate was being packed up, Savannah decided to give away her ticket into the game and hang out with Tommy instead. All of the chairs were packed away, but they still had a couple of cold beers and bluetooth speaker and that was more than enough for them. They spent the next 4 hours passing the speaker back and forth, trading their favorite songs, bonding over their love of music. The next thing they knew, the game was over, and thousands of people were pouring back out of the Big House, and they had not moved an inch. Savannah and Tommy have spent every day since them building a life together, and the flame that was lit while sitting in the grass on September 18, 2021, has never stopped burning. In May, they will begin the next chapter of their life together and they could not be more excited or feel more blessed to take the next step, and every step after that as Mr. and Mrs. McCarter.
