We first met freshman year of college at Sewanee through mutual friends, but didn't begin spending time together until our junior year in 2019. We started dating not long after and spent the rest of the fall semester spending time together, but then COVID happened. We left Sewanee and didn't know when we were going to be able to see each other again. We were finally able to spend some time together throughout the summer, and eventually made it back to Sewanee for our senior year! Caroline decided to go to graduate school at Vanderbilt in Nashville, and Justin decided to go to veterinary school at Ross University on Saint Kitts and Nevis. While we were both so excited for our next adventures, we knew that it meant we would be doing at least three years of long distance. We learned to enjoy the (very) limited amount of time we had together and worked to support each other from afar. In December of 2023, Justin finally got to move back to the U.S. to finish his last year of vet school! He proposed while we were visiting family and it was absolutely perfect. We are so so excited to spend our wedding day surrounded by our family and friends!
