How did you two meet?
We both grew up in Vestavia and first met in the same fourth-grade class. We became good friends while in high school and remained friends throughout college, although he attended Alabama and I attended Auburn. We started dating in 2018 when we both moved back to Birmingham for work.
The Proposal
To me it seemed like a typical fall Friday night date. We went to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. Little did I know he had transformed the backyard of my home with string lights, candles and a nice fire. His plans were almost ruined when I kept insisting we go to a party for a friend. I was completely surprised when he asked me to marry him, and of course, I said yes! We ended the night at a celebration with our family and friends that he secretly arranged.
Favorite Wedding Moment
Our favorite moment was taking communion together during the ceremony. It meant so much to begin our lives as husband and wife with such a grace-filled and intentional moment.
Favorite Wedding Details
My grandmother used the lace from the wedding dress worn by both my mother and aunt to sew to the hem of my wedding veil. It meant the world to me, knowing I had something with me from their weddings that my grandmother so thoughtfully and meticulously made.
