Our Wedding

In August of 2019, we met through a mutual friend at Appalachian State. We instantly hit it off, and soon after began going on dates. In October that year, we made it official that we were boyfriend and girlfriend. After both graduating from Appalachian State in 2022, we moved to Concord, NC to begin a new journey with a career in law enforcement for Cole and nursing school/ eventual job for Kailey. October 3rd, 2024 after almost 5 years of dating we got engaged. We are so excited to see where the next chapters of our life take us!
