Justin and I had first met at a Thompson Station Church bible study led by our friend Avery Bell. Justin had been attending bible study for a few weeks, and I had just moved back from college and was looking for a bible study to join. My friend, Lili, invited me to come to the bible study since it was at her house. I actually arrived at the Bible study late as usual (lol). After the bible study, I was about to leave with my friends, Julia and Ashley, when Justin came over and started a conversation with me. We were talking about everything under the sun. The next day the Young Adult Ministry at Thompson Station Church was having a movie night/ hangout. We ended up talking to each other all night.

The next day Justin DMed me on Instagram to keep the conversations going and to get to know each other more. After a couple of conversations with Julia and Ashley, they convinced me that he liked me and that we would make a great couple. I told them that he had already DMed me on Instagram and had been talking. It wasn’t long after that Justin invited me to a Luke Bryan concert for our first date. The concert was so much fun! After a couple more dates, we started dating on August 29, 2024.

After more dates and spending time with each other’s families and friends, our relationship started to grow stronger. Around the end of November/ beginning of December, we said “I love you” to each other.

Fast forward to March 13, 2024, we got ENGAGED on the beach. It was such an amazing time. It was a total surprise. I had no idea it was about to happen. Thank you to Taryn, Rynna, Sophie, and Olivia, for setting up the proposal.

Now, onto planning for the best day of our lives April 27, 2025. Thank you for coming to the wedding! We can’t wait to have an amazing time and dance the night away!!
