Our Wedding

Bryan and I met back in 2020 when I was opening up my 2nd Aldi store. I soon became the “talk” of Coco-cola and he was told he needed to come meet the new store manager in Phenix city, AL (Me). Bryan made it a point to come meet me before my store opened later that year in March. Opening during a pandemic was hard enough, but Bryan made it a point to come visit the store daily to “make sure things were running smoothly”. I used to text my family and tell them there was a cute coke guy who would come visit my store…little did I know he was just as interested. If you know Bryan at all he’s just a nice guy, so that’s all I thought it was and he was just doing his job. One day Bryan gave me his card with his number on it and told me to call him if I ever needed anything at all….well I just stuck it in my office with all the other business cards, until one day I actually needed something, so I gave him a call. After calling Bryan and telling him who it was his response was “it’s about damn time you called me” which I then responded with well I actually needed something…after telling him what I needed from him he told me he would bring it down to the store. I told him there was no rush, but he insisted he’d come down. After we hung up the phone he texted me “definitely saving this number!” And that’s when I finally got the hint that the feelings were mutual. We soon after texted all day and night and went on lots of dates. I introduced him to my family and my son Landen and it’s then when I knew he was the one for me! A perfect match, if you will! The rest is history and I’m so excited to get to marry him!

Valarie has been in my life since I was 9 years old! She is my go to girl for all things in life. The sister I never knew I needed! She’s been with me through all avenues of life and always been my person I can cry with, laugh with, travel with, dance with and gossip with, so if you think she doesn’t know she does! She’s an amazing baker and cook! I don’t think there’s anything she can’t do!

Karen has been my best friend for nearly two decades now after first meeting on the softball field and then at high school. She is my ride or die! The most amazing person you will ever meet! The girl that has been with me at my lowest of lows and highest of highs and no matter what stage of life I was in she was always right there by my side! She has an infectious laugh and always cracks me up with her silly jokes. Karen is one of the most loyal people I know and I couldn’t be happier to have her standing by my side on my big day!
