We met during our very first week as freshmen at Liberty University. Hannah and her roommates hopped on the campus bus to go play beach volleyball. Trent and his roommates just happened to be on the same bus, heading back to their dorm. The guys were cracking jokes, and us girls were laughing, so Trent introduced himself and asked for everyone’s names. Hannah invited them to come play volleyball.

The boys said yes… but when we got there, the courts were closed, so we didn't get to play. The next evening, we both ended up at the beach volleyball courts again. Trent’s team was short a player, and Hannah’s team had one too many, so she joined the boys’ side. But just as we were getting started, the police arrived and forced everyone off, so we didn't get to play volleyball once again.

For the next couple of months, we’d pass each other on campus, say hello, and go our separate ways. Then Halloween 2022 rolled around. We ended up at a mutual friend’s dorm and, for the first time, we really talked and got to know each other. The conversation lasted all night, and Trent asked for Hannah's number.

We quickly bonded over golf and food, so we made plans to play golf a few weeks down the road. But we didn’t want to wait that long to see each other again, so a few days later we went to dinner. On November 3, we went on our first date at La Caretta, a Mexican restaurant in our college town. Hannah arrived in sweatpants and a sweatshirt, while Trent wore a nice pair of jeans and a shirt. The next date was at Texas Roadhouse a few days later, and Hannah wore a skirt and a nice shirt, while Trent wore sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Needless to say, every date after that was in sweatpants and a sweatshirt.

On March 29, 2025, we got engaged in Lynchburg, Virginia. It was a perfect day that we’ll never forget. These past few years have been full of laughter, adventures, challenges, and blessings, and we couldn’t be more thankful for the relationship God has given us. We’re so excited to celebrate our wedding day surrounded by the people we love most, and to start this next chapter in our lives together.
