Our Wedding

Avery and Russ met through a mutual friend on a Thursday in June of 2019. Two Saturdays later, Russ picked Avery up for their first date - meeting her parents. They bonded over Texas Roadhouse rolls and Toy Story 4. Russ actually never asked Avery to be his girlfriend! They just started calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend around August! From June 2020 to November 2020, they took a break to better themselves. They came back together after run-in at a Halloween party, and they have not spent more than a week apart since. They have been together through many lows and many more highs from their athletic careers coming to an end to graduating college and starting their careers to currently building a home. Russ and Avery went ring shopping in May 2023. Russ went the next week to buy the ring, and he proposed exactly one year later to Avery in May of 2024 At Henderson State Park in Destin, Florida. It was a very private proposal with just the two of them, so that is what gave them the idea to elope. The soon-to-be-newlyweds are planning on eloping on their porch that they built together. They are very excited to go on this journey together and start their new chapter!
