Bailey and Will are both from Huntsville, but did not know each other growing up. They first met at UNA where they shared several friends in common. From briefly playing on intramural teams together, living in the same house one year apart, attending all of the same social events and visiting the same favorite restaurants, it seemed like they always just missed each other - Only truly knowing each other by reputation.

After both moving home to Huntsville in the spring of 2024, they discovered even more close friends in common. They began to spend time together as a group planning dinners, watching football, and of course playing some intense games of pickleball. This is where the sparks started to fly. Bailey and Will were quickly drawn to each other, so they went on their first date that summer. Immediately, the dots connected. They discovered how similar their values really are - from loving to play sports, to spending time with the same friends. From being family oriented, to most importantly having strong faith that they both desire to strengthen in marriage. They loved all the same things, and quickly loved doing them all together even more.

On August 14, 2024, Will asked Bailey to be his girlfriend. From then, they have been inseparable. In games of pickleball, family vacations, dinner dates, and in worship, they are each other's favorite teammate. Realizing that they are the perfect team in all aspects of life, on September 6, 2025, Will asked Bailey to be his wife.

Bailey and Will are so excited for the blessing it is to begin this next chapter of life together, and to share the celebration with all of you!
