It all started back in college during spring break in Florida — sun, sand, and a chance meeting that would change everything. We first met as wide-eyed freshmen just soaking up the fun, not realizing we were meeting our future forever.

For a year, we were just friends — the kind who could talk about anything and laugh about everything. But by February 2019, it was clear there was something more. During a Super Bowl watch party at Kappa Sig, he finally asked the question that would start it all: “Will you be my girlfriend?” (Spoiler alert: she said yes!)

From college days to navigating life through COVID, and even doing long distance while she was in nursing school back home in Memphis, our story has been about love, patience, and a whole lot of FaceTime calls.

Now, we’ve built a life together in Prairie Grove — just the two of us (and our sweet lab, Dickson, who definitely runs the house). We can’t wait to start this next chapter surrounded by our favorite people — the ones who’ve cheered us on from the very beginning.
