Haley and Hunter met in the Spring of 2024 in Hendersonville, North Carolina. The two continuously crossed each other’s paths over the past three years while they were working – but the timing just was not right yet. After both faced significant hardships in their lives, God ensured that Haley and Hunter’s paths would not only cross but rather become intertwined.

In late February of 2024, Hunter reached out to Haley, engaging in small talk over the phone. Haley was reluctant towards getting to know another man at first, but time has a funny way of changing things. After a few weeks, Haley decided to visit Hunter at work one night. Since Haley was still a bit hesitant about getting close to someone again, she told Hunter that her sole reason for coming to see him that night was to see if he had any golf clubs for her and her friends to play putt-putt with… okay that may have been slightly true, but hey, she still hung around after Hunter said he did not have any golf clubs!

Texts, phone calls, and spontaneous work visits led to Haley and Hunter opening up their hearts to the idea of a first date. In March, they had their first date in Forest City, North Carolina. Many dates and conversations later, they began officially dating on April 9th, 2024, right before Haley flew across the world to Croatia on April 10th. Upon her return, the two picked up right where they left off and throughout the next year they continued to build a relationship built on a foundation of love, trust, respect, and forgiveness.

Hunter proposed to Haley on March 29th, 2025, on a vacation to Charleston, South Carolina. This was Haley’s first visit to Charleston – Hunter’s hometown! That morning, Hunter told Haley he wanted to take her to Folly Beach to watch the sunrise. While the two were walking along the shoreline, as the sun crested the sky, Hunter dropped to one knee and asked the million-dollar question. In a state of shock and pure, overwhelming happiness, Haley said YES!

Haley and Hunter’s love continues to grow for one another with each passing moment. The happy couple cannot wait to celebrate their special day with you!
