We have known each other for a long time from both church and school, however it all started at Emily's junior year prom! (whether we knew it or not!) Fun fact: This prom was at the venue where we are getting married, The Historic Post Office!

We have a tradition of going to the Isle of Wight county fair yearly, and this was our first year of the tradition!

Fast forward to after the pandemic...2nd year at the fair!

Over the summer of 2021, we started to hang out a lot more! This was definitely one of our first dates (the moon at ODU!), although we didn't qualify it as one at the time (lol!)

Our first "official" date. We went to watch the sunset and had a picnic!

The day Allen asked Emily to be his girlfriend! We don't have a picture together on this day, but these are the flowers he got Emily :)

Went on our first trip together, to Philadelphia!

3rd year at the fair!

Allen threw Emily a surprise 21st birthday party! It was the surprise of a lifetime and all of Emily's favorite people were there to celebrate!!

Our 2nd Christmas season together!

That time we drove 6 hours to see Taylor Swift!!

The day after the concert, we explored the American Dream mall, and of course had to take this picture!

Floating lantern festival in Virginia Beach! One of our favorite dates!

4th year tradition picture!

The night we got engaged! *Shout out to Gather cafe*

After we got engaged we went to the Botanical Gardens to celebrate!!
