One unsuspecting day on Talbott’s birthday, September 26, 2021, we were in the same establishment. I was with my good friend and former college roommate having a girls weekend. We all ended up sitting in the same area, which I would

later learn was not by mistake ☺️. We shared life stories and all said goodnight when it was time to go home. Talbott and my friend became Facebook friends that night, however, I was not an active participant in Facebook at that time. Talbott and I had no way to directly communicate during the next 7 months and didn’t run into each other or speak during that time.

One night, those many months later, Talbott and I saw each other in the same establishment, once again. We talked, laughed, and danced and got to know each other a little better. At the end of the night, I told him it was good to see him again and with my heart racing, I proceeded to quickly exit to my car. Once again, we didn’t exchange phone numbers and had no way to contact each other.

Within the next week, my friend, who had visited in the months earlier, communicated to me that Talbott was looking for a way to contact me and did so through her. At his request, I met him to listen to a band and do some dancing. Let me say, I knew I was in trouble!

Over the next three to four months, we spent time together and really got to know each other, although it seemed that we already knew each other and had been friends forever. It didn’t take long for us to realize our commitment to each other was undeniable, and that God put us in the right place at the right time, more than once!

Now, over two years later, here we are, preparing to say our vows on September 6, 2024! We both knew it was meant to be and if you know the people close to us, they will tell you the same. ❤️
