Patrick and I were both born and raised in Louisiana. We went to St. Amant High School together, but we were two grades apart... so in other words, Patrick did not "know" me, but I definitely knew who he was. I was friends with Gabbi, Patrick's sister, all of high school and college, so I always knew him as Gabbi's cute older brother.

Patrick went off to Houston Baptist College to obtain his bachelor's degree and play college football, and shortly after him, I went to Louisiana State University to get my bachelor's as well.

After Patrick finished college, he moved back to Louisiana with his family. Within months of moving home, Gabbi worked her magic. Patrick "dmed" me asking to take me on a double date with his sister to the 13th gate. (I will forever laugh that we started out in the dms lol)

The rest is history :) Since being together and both graduating college, we have bought a house together that we've been slowly making a home over the past year. We spend our time doing DIY projects, binge watching shows, and hanging with our Jude. We are blessed to say the least.

We are extremely excited for the big day, and we cannot wait to celebrate with each and everyone of our friends and family.
