We met on Saturday March 13, 2021, in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Annabelle was attending college at NSU and Cory was stationed at Fort Polk in Leesville.

After around two years of dating, including over a year of long distance and a 9-month deployment, we were engaged on February 4th, 2023, at the very top of Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs.

The following June, Annabelle relocated from Louisiana to join Cory in Colorado.

After 4 1/2 years together, and many months of planning and anticipating, we are SO excited to celebrate with our family and friends in August.

This next chapter added to our story will hopefully only be the very beginning of a long and happy life together.
