We met when we each moved to Charlotte more than 10 years ago. We quickly fell into the same friend group and got to know each other better through beach trips, birthday celebrations, weddings and holidays, and spent a lot of time watching Big10 football. Our relationship changed from "just friends" to more in 2021 when we went out on our first date. The rest is history...
In August 2023, we planned a trip to California to visit Sequoia National Park, Yosemite, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Sonoma and San Francisco. While in Yosemite, Tom thought we should hike to the tallest waterfall in North America so we trekked to the top of Yosemite Falls. After a grueling 3 hour hike, Tom very smoothly gave his phone to some fellow hikers, told them he was about to propose and had the camera set to video. I was completely caught off guard when Tom got down on one knee and proposed! It was a very special day we will always remember!
Charlotte is where our story began. The city holds a special place in our hearts and we couldn't think of a better place to host family and friends. We are so excited to see you all in December!
