Our Wedding

How We Meet

We meet back in 2014 after a basketball game. I had a black eye cause I got elbowed in the face. Clark still managed to ask for my phone number. We talked a while before we went on our first date at Chick-fil-A. We went on a hiking date before he broke up with me in a text. It was not a big deal except we had to go to prom together! We went but it was extremely awkward. We didn’t speak for a few months but then became friends through basketball. We both said we still liked each other and started dating “for real.” We officially became boyfriend/girlfriend on November 10, 2015. The next 4 years were full of long distance, phone calls and quick, infrequent visits. Fortunately, we stayed together though all that.

Engagement

Clark asked on Monday if we could go out to dinner on Friday, which was very odd. The week seemed to drag on with work. Finally, it was Friday! We went to dinner at Phat Sammy’s, a favorite of ours. He was eating so slow! Which I thought was weird but nothing completely insane. We eventually went to walk around Big Spring Park. We normally do a huge lap but he said we should go to the Square. I was slightly disappointed because I had a suspicion he would propose in the park. He said we should go into this church courtyard. I was completely confused at this point. This huge family was taking pictures near us. He points at this door and says, “This door reminds me of Sewanee.” (A place we went together on a field trip years ago.) He then suggested we take a selfie in front of it. We take the selfie, he hands me my phone and gets on one knee. I immediately start crying. Neither of us remember exactly what we said because we were both distracted by my crying. The family, who was still there, congratulated us. My sister, Jesse, and her friend, Caroline, come out of the bushes and start taking pictures. I start crying again. It was a great moment and now I get to spend forever being surprised by Clark.
