We first met in the fall of 2017 at our high school, in a Law and Public Safety class. I can still remember the first time I saw Alaina. I was immediately struck by how beautiful she was. Little did I know, that moment would mark the start of something special. We had several classes together, including Intro to Law, where we quickly went from classmates to close friends.

During our senior year, Alaina asked me to be her date for homecoming, and I said yes without hesitation. After the final game of the season, I knew it was time to make things official, and I asked her to be my girlfriend. Our connection grew stronger with each passing day, and a month later, I found myself telling her "I love you" for the first time.

After high school, we went our separate ways to colleges across the state. Though we were miles apart, we made the effort to see each other whenever we could. I would drive on weekends to visit her for football games or just to spend time together. The long-distance wasn’t easy, but it only made me more sure that she was the one!

When Alaina graduated from college and returned home to Augusta, I knew it was time to take the next step. For our five-year anniversary, I took her to the Savannah Rapids, the place where I would finally ask her to marry me. I couldn’t wait any longer to spend the rest of my life with her, and of course, she said yes!

Now, we’re looking forward to the future we’ll share together, filled with love, adventure, and everything in between.
