Who would ever have thought I was going to find my wife at a Halloween party in Orlando?? Not me. The fall of 2020 was a wild time as I somehow ended up flying for a friend’s Halloween party and dressed up with a girl that I had never met before.

When Grace invited me to her party, the first thing that ran through my head was “why not?”. However, I threw out the idea that I would come down to Florida if and only if I got to dress up with her new cute roommate. Grace laughed and said “get in line buddy.”

A week later, I got a call back from Grace, but the voice on the other side was not her, it was Ramsey. She agreed to dress up with me, as long as we had a good enough costume. Over the next few weeks we messaged back and forth throwing out ideas for our costume and eventually settled on two random characters from a Netflix movie that was about meeting at a Halloween party - so original, right? When I arrived to Orlando, Ramsey and I spent most of the day together while we were decorating for the party. However, as soon as the party started Ramsey disappeared. She could not be found as she was (as what she calls) "bopping around" all night long talking to everyone she could and I couldn’t keep up. However, I was confident in one thing - I did want to hang out with her more than one day of party prepping.

Once I was back in Memphis, I called Ramsey to ask her if she would want to go on a date when she flew back to Nashville for Thanksgiving. I offered to drive the 3 hours to Nashville to take her on a date, and of course impressed by the effort, she said yes. What we expected to be a 4-hour date quickly turned into a 10-hour date that day, and we spent the whole day together.

Over the months following we began dating, flying back and forth to see each other along with many FaceTime dates. To this day we are two of the few people that thank God for the gift of Frontier and Spirit airlines, as their direct flights of ORL - MEM helped us get to where we are today.

We are so grateful for each of you and the role you've played in our lives, whether it's been 2 years or 25 years. God has been good and faithful, we ask you join us in prayer as we step into our marriage and in celebrating all He has provided!

Excited to see you all soon,

Al and Ramsey
