How We Met

03.18.15

We met in freshman year French class and bonded over me sharing my food with him. Just a harmless acquaintanceship until sophomore year and we finally shared our phone numbers with each other. After eight long months of constant texting and awkwardness, he finally asked me to be his girlfriend.

The Proposal

10.02.21

We decided to take a long weekend in the Smokey Mountains just the two of us. We had planned to hike up the Rainbow Falls trail, 3 miles one way. Easy. Keep in mind that this was three miles up a mountain. We finally reached the top, our legs were on fire, and our knees were as sore as an 80-year-old's. Looking all around enjoying the view, my eyes find the ring and I hear "Will you marry me?". There was a loud "YES!" and many congratulations from fellow hikers. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you. See you in Northport!

For all the days along the way
