Would you believe me if I told you I knew OF Garrett, but I did not truly know him... and then asked him to be MY date to a wedding that was out of town?

Garrett was added to a face-time call where I asked him if he would be my wedding date in November 2024. We had our "first date" at Champy's in Smyrna, TN on the day of the Alabama vs Tennessee game (the 3rd Saturday in October). If you know Garrett, he is a die hard Tennessee fan, while I am an Alabama fan. While we got to know each other, I don't remember the last time I truly enjoyed spending time with someone and laughed as hard as I did that day. You know what they say... time flies when you're having fun! Garrett and I's one hour lunch turned into FIVE hours!! That same night he met me again out with my friends at the local line dancing bar.

Garrett continued to pursue me with texts, face-time calls, flowers, and date nights which turned into hanging out almost every single day. He easily became my best friend and someone I knew I did not want to live life without. On November 9, 2024- the same day I met his parents- he asked me to be his girlfriend. A week later, we went to that wedding and not only was he my date, but also my boyfriend!

Both Garrett and I had been patiently waiting on the Lord's timing for the right person. Garrett was worth every tear and prayer said! On August 1, 2025 I had the honor of saying "yes!" to being Garrett's wife.

Now, Garrett can be my forever wedding date and I cannot wait to live this life together:)
