From Cara's Perspective:

In December 2020, our best friends (Alex and Barron) were getting married in New Orleans! Evan has known Barron and Alex since forever and I have known Alex since college. Fast forward to their wedding day, I was getting ready in my room for the ceremony and Evan was getting ready in his and we both walked out at the same time and decided to walk with each other over to the wedding.

We got to the ceremony and parted ways and he patiently waited to talk to me. Fast forward, we ended up sitting beside each other at the reception and we chatted throughout the night. His best friend and best man, Cole, was sitting beside me and asked me how I felt about Evan! I was smitten but wasn't necessarily looking for a relationship at that time.

After the reception and wedding, we all walked back to the hotel, and Evan and I chatted all night!

We all left the next day and Evan and I ended up hanging out the entire month of December and January. He eventually had to go back to Washington, D.C., where he was living and working at the time. We had a long conversation before he left on whether we should pursue a relationship and see if it could work! Turns out, we both were a little nervous but promised to see each other every few weeks so we decided to try it. I flew to see him for the first time on January 29, 2021, and that is when we became Evan and Cara!

Fast forward, we moved to Hattiesburg and have been doing life with each other ever since and he proposed October 14, 2024, in Hawaii!

We are both so excited to get married surrounded by our family and friends on March 15, 2025!
