Mason and Ali's story began in high school at the Livingston Parish Literacy and Technology Center, where they met in a Criminal Justice class. She was the overachiever, and he was the “as long as I pass” student — complete opposites who somehow fit together perfectly.

They started dating on February 16, 2018, and for the past eight years, they’ve balanced college, long-distance, and everything life has thrown their way.

When asked what they love most about each other, Ali says, “I love how he makes me feel at home no matter where we go and makes sure I have a safe place to land.” Mason says, “I love how she keeps me grounded through everything, being the one thing I look forward to every day.”

On July 29, 2024, during a beach trip to Florida with their closest friends, Mason proposed with a ring he designed himself. After years of love, laughter, and growing up together, they can’t wait to finally start forever side by side.

When they’re not studying or working, Ali and Mason love to spend time at the deer camp, play games, and be with family and friends — enjoying the little moments that make life so sweet.
