Annah and Bailey's story starts at one of the most romantic places anyone could dream of: a middle school Science Olympiad competition. As they filed into the gymnasium with their peers for the award ceremony, Bailey made room beside him on the bleachers, gesturing for Annah to sit beside him. She did. While they both took home gold medals that day, they also left with something much more exciting: a childhood crush. It was 2011.

A lot happened in the 14 years between then and now. Annah and Bailey dated for 3.5 years in middle and high school before life decided it was time for them to move on. But they wouldn't be separated for too long.

They went to college and lived their own lives: making new friends, having new adventures, and growing up. On the 4th of July in 2017, they were finally reunited and reconnected as friends. Annah transferred to UGA the next year (Bailey was already there), and the two only grew closer. They quickly formed a shared friend group that hung out nearly every day.

It wouldn't be until after college, though, that they were finally the people they needed to be to fall in love with each other again. 2021. At this point, it felt unavoidable in the best way. Nearly all of their friends had been waiting for it to happen!

Three more years went by, and Annah and Bailey only grew more certain that the other was who they were meant to be with. Then, finally, on Sept 21st, 2024, Bailey got down on one knee and asked, "Annah, will you marry me?" And, well, you're reading this on a wedding website, aren't you? She said yes!

They could not be more thrilled for this next chapter of their life together to begin, and are so excited to celebrate their true love with family and friends on 11/1/25.
