Luke and I first met in band class at Semmes Middle School. We didn’t start off as close friends, but would talk to each other every now and then because we had classes together. We both were initiated into Honor Society, and spent more time together on group field trips where I realized how much he made me laugh and we became closer as friends. After 8th grade, Luke was supposed to go to Alma Bryant High School while I was going to MGM, so we went our separate ways. One day, one of my friends messaged me to tell me that Luke was going to MGM too! I was so excited to see him again, and the rest is history. We had plenty of classes together (Luke still claims to this day that he stayed in French class even though he meant to take Spanish because I was in that class) and started to hang out outside of school. Luke invited me to go to the fair with him where he asked me to be his girlfriend at the top of the ferris wheel (although I’m afraid of heights!). We’ve been together ever since, and are blessed to share memories with each other as we’ve grown up together, and he still makes me laugh every day. We couldn’t be more excited for our wedding day and would like to thank all of our family and friends for their support along the way! We look forward to having you all to celebrate with us. - Sydney <3
