Every time we tell our story, we marvel at how unbelievable it is that it took so long to meet. When we were at Clemson, we lived in the same dorm building, shared classes w/ the others' best friends, were apart of the same student org. at different times, as well as a myriad of other invisible strings. However, with all of these shared connections, it was inevitable that we would meet, and we did just that in December of 2021.

What started as a casual evening out in downtown Clemson with mutual friends ended with a blossoming relationship and a full week of dates. Little did we know that those nights at Mexican restaurants, Waffle House, and Backstreets would be the groundwork for a lifelong love and commitment to one another.

As we began to date, we went through many incredible life events with each other at our sides: 3 separate graduations, moves around the country, and new careers. Through it all, we always had one another as a source of laughs, support, and motivation, which has only ever helped our love flourish.

Evan has said many times that within a month or two of dating, he knew with absolute certainty that Abby would be the one he wanted to marry. Now, we are so thankful and excited to be able to do just that, surrounded by our family, friends, and loved ones. We are so very excited for this next chapter in our lives, and for all of the blessings that will follow. Though no one can know what the future holds, we DO know one thing: that it will be a future that we will always share together.
