Our story began in December 2019, when Anna asked Nathan to be her date to a winter formal during his junior year and her sophomore year of high school. What was meant to be a fun night ended up becoming the start of something much more.

About a month later, in January 2020, we officially started dating. With busy high school schedules, most of our time together happened on weekends, and we made the most of every minute.

We spent countless hours hiking, cooking, experimenting with new recipes, and discovering small ways to make each day memorable. The rest of high school was full of memories that we still look back on: going to prom, cheering under the lights at football games, spending time with friends, cooking together, traveling, and supporting each other in sports and school.

After graduating, we both made our way to Auburn University, excited to start a new chapter side by side. College brought an entirely new stage of life. We studied together on campus, made lifelong friends, attended football and basketball games, discovered new restaurants, and enjoyed sorority formals and date parties. Through every busy semester and every new challenge, we continued choosing each other.

After more than five years together, on April 13, 2025, Nathan proposed to Anna at New Water Farms in Dadeville, Alabama. It was a moment we will never forget, and Anna said yes.

Just a month later, we both graduated from college and began our careers, excited to officially start building our future together. Now, as we plan our wedding and look ahead to everything that comes next, we are grateful for the journey that led us here. We cannot wait to spend forever together and celebrate this next chapter with all of you.
