We met in the midst of a global pandemic in 2020. Although our first conversation was on Snapchat, it grew to be so much more. We spent endless nights Facetiming and getting to know one another. The first time we met in person was at a Walmart parking lot 6 feet apart because Emily was quarantined. A couple weeks later on November 13, 2020, we officially started dating. We attended our senior prom together, got to see each other graduate high school and started college together at Pitt State University. College keeps us busy but we have managed to spend a lot of quality time together over the last few years. We decided to go on our first vacation together to Galveston, Texas and on August 9th, 2023, we were officially engaged!
