Tyler and I first met in the summer of 2020, right before our senior year of high school. We were both 17 and happened to cross paths at the Flowood Nature Park. We didn't realize it at the time, but that first glance would be the start of a lifetime. It wasn’t until late August that everything changed. We went on our very first date — a picnic with Chick-fil-A in the park where we first met. From that day on, everything just seemed to fall into place. During these past years, we have shared so many milestones — lots of highs, some lows — but through it all, we have had each other to love and lean on. Our story came full circle when Tyler proposed at the place that started this incredible journey: the nature park. Our 17-year-old selves could have never have guessed how far we'd come. Now, we are so excited to step into this new chapter of our life. We cannot wait to celebrate our marriage with those we cherish the most!
