Our Story

In October of 2022, we went to a Cru Fall Retreat with no expectation of meeting each other. We each were invited to play a board game, Catan, with some new friends, and ended up having a great time, and laughed harder than ever. Fast forward a few conversations later, in February, Croix asked Hannah out to Cru Formal. We both would say this was the most unexpected blessing in our lives so far and we are forever grateful for the Lord's timing and kindness.

And that date was only the beginning. Croix cheered me on at intramural games, took me to the botanical gardens, cooked me dinner, and then asked me to be his girlfriend after my less than athletic church run (if you know you know). Together we have enjoyed countless meals, studied together, talked for hours about the most meaningful and silly things, driven many miles to see each other, watched movies together, and so much more. Croix has been my encourager and cared for me every step of the way of nursing school and I got to encourage and celebrate Croix graduating from Clemson in May 2024.

On August 24, 2024, Croix proposed at the Biltmore! It was a beautiful day and reflected all the joy of this sweet season the Lord has given us. (Truly, I do not know if I stopped smiling all day.)

June 28, 2025 will hold just as much joy, if not more, as we are so excited to get married and live life together as the Browns. We are excited to see what the Lord has for us as we seek to serve others and glorify the Lord with our lives together.
