We're getting married!

We first met at a party hosted by our mutual friends (shoutout to the Kinkades!). He showed up with a mullet, covered head-to-toe in dirt from riding Razors all day. I was in the awkward braces phase. Somehow, despite his very 90’s country hairdo, I thought he was so cute. Over the years, we kept running into each other, but we were always in relationships, and each other remained just a familiar face… until a few years later. I was traveling through West Virginia and decided to stop by and see him. From the moment we started talking, it was like a light switched on. Kind of a did-we-just-become-best-friends? moment. We laughed, shared stories, listened to music for hours, and realized just how much we had in common. It was like we’d known each other our whole lives. We both knew immediately that this was something special. Despite living in different states, we refused to let this be a “what if” situation. So we did something crazy (and I still can’t believe my parents allowed it): we moved into a tiny, admittedly “crappy” apartment together. We worked odd jobs, learned how to adult together, and somehow managed to still like each other through it all. Eventually, we moved to Asheville, NC, where we found a place to really call home. After three amazing years of dating, filled with laughter, growth, and all the little everyday moments that make life sweet, we’re engaged and so excited for the next chapter. We can’t wait to see what the future holds, and we’re beyond thrilled to celebrate our love with all of you.
