On a warm summer day at Lake Oconee, surrounded by sunshine, boats, and laughter, fate had something special in store. It was July 3, 2022 — a day neither of us could have predicted would change our lives forever.

We met on the sandbar, a place buzzing with life and energy, but somehow in the middle of it all, we only saw each other. Dayla spotted Davis, and with a spark of boldness (and maybe a little curiosity), she asked him if he wanted to go for a jet ski ride. Davis, smiling and intrigued, said yes without hesitation.

That ride turned into a conversation, and that conversation turned into hours that felt like minutes. From that moment on, we were inseparable. We went from strangers on the lake to best friends, and soon after, soulmates.

What started as a spontaneous ride on a summer afternoon became the beginning of the greatest adventure of our lives. From sandbars to sunsets, late-night talks to early morning coffees, we’ve been writing our story ever since — and we can’t wait to begin this next chapter as husband and wife.
