We first met sophomore year of high school in 2016 in our hometown of Hazard, Kentucky. What started as a simple friendship quickly grew into something really special. Through the rest of high school, we stayed close friends—supporting each other, sharing laughs, and creating memories without even realizing we were building the foundation for forever. By senior year, our bond had grown stronger, and it became clear there was something more there. On August 4, 2019, we officially started dating, just before beginning the next chapter of our lives together at the University of Kentucky. College brought new challenges, new adventures, and countless moments that only deepened our connection. From late-night talks and busy schedules to celebrating milestones side by side, we learned what it truly means to grow together. In June 2025, we got engaged—and we couldn’t be more excited to continue this journey hand in hand. Now, we’re counting down the days until we say “I do” on September 26, 2026, back where it all began in Hazard, Kentucky, surrounded by the people who have loved and supported us every step of the way. We’re so grateful for our story so far, and we can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter with you.
