Our Wedding

We first met at Muddy Bottoms in 2019. I am pretty sure it was love at first sight for Garret, but not so much me (since he was a child at the time lol, but fr). A few months later at a bar, he yelled out "I AM GOING TO MARRY THAT GIRL ONE DAY" . Once again, he was still a child (not even sure he was old enough to be there! jk jk) Then one day, he asked to take me on a date. I agreed and arranged for someone to watch the girls.A few hours before the date, he texted me and said something came up. Rude. We rescheduled but I didn't make an effort since he stood me up the last time. He was dressed up and I had just gotten off the boat with Ashlea. He wanted Half Shell and I quickly said "No, not dressed like this". We ended up grabbing Chick-Fil-A to go and sat in his truck for HOURS just talking and laughing. It took him 5 months after that night for him to ask me to be his girlfriend, so I don't know why I act surprised that it took 3.5 years to propose!

Jen's Story

The first time I met Jennifer was on a sandbar on the Pearl river. I thought she was one of the most gorgeous girls I had ever seen. (She apparently thought I was one of the most gorgeous guys she had ever seen because I couldn’t keep her off me!) I think I made a great impression by threatening to dunk her under water which resulted in loosing what I thought were an expensive pair of glasses. I now know they were dollar tree glasses! Fast forward a year or two later, we run into each other again at muddy bottoms. I still thought she was some hot stuff and she of course thought the same of me. She flirted with me more than I with her but I figured I’d entertain it and flirted right back! I suppose she couldn’t resist my good looks and charming personality because we talked a good bit that trip! After muddy bottoms we had a few run ins with each other here and there. She kept begging me to take her out but I told her she was a little too old for me! Eventually our paths crossed again one night at Ratliff ferry, where again she couldn’t take her eyes off me! So I bought her a drink or two and we talked some. I ended up telling her that night, that I would marry her one day! ( I think she about fainted when I said that and wanted to say yes then!) I really liked her personality and good looks! So I asked her for her Snapchat, just in case she turned out to be a stalker or something. I didn’t need her blowing up my phone with text because she couldn’t keep away from me! We end up snap chatting for a while, until finally I decided to ask her on a date. She of course said yes, (because how could you not say yes to a very good looking and charming man like myself!?) I had to keep her on her toes, so I backed out last minute on our date. She of course was crushed but I assured her I would like to reschedule. Eventually we decided to try going on a date again. I was dressed nice, like a gentleman prepared to woo a nice lady. Unbeknownst to me I was getting “after boat Jen”. Which while still looking beautiful to me, looked like she had gone out on a boat, jumped in the water a few 100 times and took a 5 hour boat ride…. I also wasn’t prepared to see two other women staring at me through the windows of her friend’s house. Jen of course changed our plans to go to a nice dinner, to going to the chick fil a. Well I decided for us to eat in my truck, (just in case I had to keep my other options open.😉) we end up talking all night and having great conversations. She begged me to kiss her, which I eventually gave in because I’m sure she would have died had I not! We started talking for several months after that, because I wasn’t too sure of what I was getting myself into! Then on October 2nd of 2021, after meeting the girls a month or so prior I decided to ask her to be my girlfriend. Which I don’t think I even finished the sentence and she was already saying yes!
