Sometimes, love finds us in the most unexpected ways. For Bill and Cheyanne, it all began in 2018 with something as simple as a Facebook friend request. Unbeknownst to them, they had spent years unknowingly close — attending the same high school, living just ten minutes apart, and sharing countless mutual friends. But fate, in its own perfect timing, waited until after high school to bring their paths together. On July 3rd, 2018, Cheyanne took the first step, sparking a connection that quickly blossomed into something special. What followed was anything but ordinary. At the time, Bill was studying at Virginia Military Institute (VMI), while Cheyanne was preparing to start her journey at Clemson University in South Carolina. Despite the miles between them, the couple made every effort to be together — traveling back and forth for spontaneous adventures, meaningful moments, and just to spend time side by side. As the years passed, they grew together through life’s challenges and triumphs, supporting one another through the early steps of adulthood. In January 2022, their long-distance chapter came to a joyful close when Cheyanne graduated and they moved in together in Pensacola, Florida. With their beloved fur baby Avalanche by their side, they began building a home together. Not long after, they found their perfect house and added another furry member to the family — their sweet pup Aurora. Then came a moment they’ll never forget. On October 9th, 2022, during a sentimental trip back to VMI, Bill took Cheyanne to Natural Bridge — a place that had become a symbol of their love. There, beneath the awe-inspiring arch, Bill got down on one knee and asked Cheyanne to spend forever with him. Through every milestone — the laughs, the growth, the travels, and the challenges — Bill and Cheyanne have shown what true love looks like: patient, resilient, and full of heart. On September 13th, 2023, they officially tied the knot in a private ceremony before being stationed in California. Now, they’re excited to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by family and friends on September 13th, 2025. They can’t wait to honor their journey and the beautiful future ahead — and they hope to see you there to share in the joy of their love story.
