From the bride: Trey and I grew up going to the same elementary school, but we never really talked to each other since there was a 2-year age difference. Once we got into high school, we had several mutual friends, so we were around each other more and more. One night, a big group of people was going to Scarowinds, and Trey was part of the group. As we walked around, we started talking and joking around. I was freezing, like usual, and he noticed and handed me his jacket (even though I felt bad for taking it because I was sure he had to be cold too). As the night went on, we really began to connect, and I had a blast with him. The next morning, I messaged him on Facebook to thank him for being so sweet for giving me his jacket. The next Saturday, we went on our first "official" date to La Fuente and to the movies. That night, I knew there was something special about him and that he was the person I was meant to be with. On October 27, 2011, we began dating and have never looked back! Over the next five years, we experienced graduations, vacations, football wins, and so many new adventures. In May of 2017, we were going on a cruise with my family to celebrate his graduation. On the third day of the cruise, Trey had told me that today was "my day" and that I could have whatever I wanted (which was mostly ice cream). That night was formal night, so my mom suggested that we went up to the top deck to take pictures. After we finished taking pictures, I was begging to go eat dinner because I was starving, but Trey kept telling me to chill out and just enjoy the moment. He kept asking me if there was anything else I wanted that day, and I replied, "nope, only you." He asked me a few more times, and the last time I said no, he got down on one knee! We have been happily engaged since May 23, 2017! *Fun fact: our wedding date is exactly three years after our engagement date!*
