Our story begins on a Saturday morning in March 2024 with an innocent conversation in Hobby Lobby between two old friends, Rhonda Nelson and Lauri Smith. After an hour of catching up, Lauri asks Rhonda, "Do you know any good Christian single girls around 27 years old?" Rhonda replies she and Jamie have a niece who's 28 and says we'll have to get them together sometime.

Almost a month passes before Lauri reaches out asking about the niece. Lauri was given Hannah's cell number and passed it on to Logan. The ball was now in his court.

We both searched social media to see what we could find out about each other, but neither of us post anything, although we both have accounts. After some texting and phone calls between the two of us, the blind date was set.

Friday, May 17, 2024 we were going to meet at Della Ventura's and then go bowling. The restaurant was packed and Logan had reserved a lane for us, so on to plan B. The night was perfect!

After only five months of dating, Logan designed a ring and planned our engagement. Hannah's 29th birthday, October 26, 2024, will forever be the best one ever. Logan planned the 'birthday' celebration with a wine tasting for us at City Scape Winery in Pelzer and dinner together in Spartanburg.

Logan popped the question as we walked around the grounds at City Scape. Logan's sister, Bailee, was hiding in the vineyards with a camera to capture the moment. Then it was on to dinner. Both sides of our families were gathered at the 1881 venue in Spartanburg waiting for the newly engaged couple to arrive. What a spectacular evening!

We can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together.
