Our Wedding

In the early Spring of 2019, Jeff started ring shopping covertly, finding the perfect ring in Greenville, NC. After talking to Anna Brook's parents, he arranged a "quiet" Mother's Day weekend with just them at the river. When they got there on Friday evening, her parents were nowhere to be found, faking some errands that held them up at home.After unloading the car, they walked down to the water where, along with Harley, Jeff proposed, and Anna Brooks said YES! That was only the first surprise of the weekend. A few minutes later, Anna Brook's parents show up, along with the surprise guests of Jeff's mom, Sarah, and her husband Dan.Following a night of celebration, the next morning another&nbsp;surprise guest appeared when Emily, Brian, and baby Adeline came to join the festivities! It was a wonderful weekend celebrated&nbsp;with family and friends!
