Story

We "officially" first met about 7 years ago on a cold December night when each of our mutual friends wanted to go out for dinner and drinks. Ironically and unknowingly, neither of us wanted to go that night. BUT something in the stars pushed us to go and good thing we showed up because it was as if it were "love at first sight." When we first saw each other, it was an instant "Where do I know you from?". We knew right away we had seen each other before but just couldn't place it. So, a million questions and pictures later we realized that we had gone to the same church, parties, and events growing up but had never spoken. And two weeks after meeting, our journey began...

Tidbits

Who made the first move? How?

He made the first move when he asked me for my number to make sure me and my friends got home safe after a night out. Pretty smart if you ask me.

How did he propose?

After a long day of painting, tears, and sweat he unexpectedly proposed to me on a dock at his family's beach house. BUT first he tricked me onto the dock by asking for my help to remove a crab cage from the water...

Where are you going for your honeymoon?

Europe? Asia? Wherever the world takes us!

The dorkiest thing about us is

We're obsessed with our pups Hazel & Atlas, and can't forget my girl Nellie <3
