Our story began in 10th grade on the basketball court, where a simple game sparked a connection. Beau had just transferred to Conway Christian School, and over time, we started to form a friendship that only grew stronger. By 11th grade, we had become close friends—constantly talking, laughing, and spending time together—while confidently telling everyone around us (and firmly believing ourselves) that we were just friends, even as people kept insisting we should be more.

In 12th grade, our bond only deepened. We became best friends and went to homecoming together—as just friends, of course. But everything shifted not long after. We went to our second school dance, Winter Formal, and something between us felt different. Two weeks later, we realized what everyone else had seen all along and made it official—we were dating.

From that point on, life has been full and fast—graduating high school, starting jobs, and diving into college. Through it all, we’ve grown closer and stronger together. Then, just shy of two years after that turning point, on December 22nd, Beau asked Mallory to marry him.

Now, we’re so excited to celebrate the next chapter of our journey with the people who have supported and loved us along the way.
