We met at Appalachian State University during our freshman year, just casually crossing paths on campus. But it wasn’t until our sophomore year at an App State football game that we really reconnected. We bumped into each other in the crowd, and instantly, something clicked. From that moment, we started spending as much time together as possible, and it quickly became clear—we were meant to be.

Whether we were grabbing late-night snacks, watching movies for hours, or simply enjoying each other’s company, everything felt natural. Camden is the calm one, Alayna is a little more wild, and together, we make each other whole. We balance each other out in the best ways, and our love only grows stronger every day.

We spent 1.5 years doing long-distance while Alayna finished school, and during that time, the one thing that kept us positive was the thought of finally being in the same place again. It wasn’t easy, and there were definitely challenging moments, but we never once doubted that we would make it through. If anything, that time apart made us realize how deeply we love each other and only brought us closer.

Throughout the years, we’ve been each other’s biggest supporters—whether it’s celebrating Alayna’s graduation and her new career in insurance sales, or Camden’s work in the family business while pursuing some entrepreneurial adventures. We’ve shared so many laughs, created countless memories, and have found that every moment is better when we’re together.

A few of our favorite things to do include trying out new coffee shops on Sundays, watching a lot of movies, and, of course, turning our house into a home. It’s been a journey, full of DIY projects, a little chaos, and a whole lot of love.

Last summer, we took a big step and bought our first home together. It’s been full of new experiences, cozy nights, and plenty of laughter. One of our favorite things to do is cook meals together—whether we’re attempting new recipes or just throwing together whatever’s in the fridge. Either way, it’s become a time we look forward to, a simple joy of spending time together and making something delicious.

We are beyond in love and excited for the next chapter of our lives. We can’t wait to share this beautiful journey with all of you!
