I went back and forth on whether I’d share our story on our wedding website, but decided some of you may enjoy it as much as we do!

Jackson and I met at Mississippi State through mutual friends. We had been around each other at multiple sorority and fraternity functions but didn’t start hanging out until “spring break” in 2021 (which was actually in May that year because of COVID, haha). After that trip, we spent time together for nearly a year before Jackson asked me to be his girlfriend in March 2022 (thanks to a few close friends finally giving him the nudge)!

Ever since that day, we’ve done everything together. We truly live life to the fullest and never say no to an adventure, which has made our relationship fun, spontaneous, and full of love and excitement.

After a few years of dating in college and a year of long distance while I was in graduate school and then moved home, Jackson decided to take the leap and move to my hometown of Marietta—his best decision yet, in my opinion, haha!

He proposed about six months after moving to Georgia in the Blue Ridge Mountains. He planned the most sentimental proposal by the Toccoa River, near a tree where he had carved our initials on a family vacation the year prior (he is obviously the romantic in our relationship)!

Since then, we’ve bought our first home together in Marietta and have loved planning our big day. We are so excited to step into this next chapter together as husband and wife. We plan to continue loving each other well and never saying no to making new memories together!
