Our Wedding

Dalton was born and raised in Augusta, GA. I was born in Florida but moved to a few places with my family before settling in Lynchburg, VA where I mainly grew up. After living there from elementary school through college, I decided I wanted a change. My parents and brother had moved to Augusta, Georgia, so I headed south. I didn't know anyone but them. In order to explore the Augusta area, I decided to take my mom's Field Spaniel to the local dog park. This is where our story begins. Dalton and I actually met at the dog park with some help from Ranger and Ellie wanting to meet each other first :) Our dogs hit it off, we hung out, and eventually started dating. We bonded over our love for dogs, traveling, and the outdoors. We've been dating for over 2 1/2 years and have been engaged since October 2021. We now have our own sweet little puppy and are getting another soon! (We LOVE animals!) We still enjoy the outdoors and traveling but have begun adding home projects to the list of things which keep us busy. Dalton's new home will be where we reside. It's just across the Savannah River in North Augusta, South Carolina. We are excited to continue our journey as best friends and lovers into forever!

Our Story

Photos

Another middle school bestie! I was new to our middle school and hadn't yet made friends. Hannah was one of the very first to befriend me. People used to call us "twins" because we looked so much alike during our middle school years! (I still call her "twin" to this day even though we no longer look alike.) We bonded over horses, bike rides and our weird sense of humor:) We have been best friends since 6th grade.  Our friendship is over a decade old with no chance of stopping!

Noelle and I met sophomore year of college at a Halloween party. We were introduced by a mutual friend and immediately hit it off, with Noelle telling me that night we were going to be best friends.  The next day we discovered we had a college class together and started hanging out (often visiting the Humane Society since she's every bit a dog lover, too). We became college roommates - my favorite, fun-filled years of college!  She is amazing, beautiful and sweet! We remain close friends to this day!

Lauren is Dalton's sister. She is extremely friendly with a bubbly personality. She can talk to anyone with ease and is a natural at being kind and welcoming to those she meets!   I don't have a sister, but I am thrilled to soon have Lauren as a  sister-in-law!!

Caleb and Delaney met through work and eventually began dating.  He introduced her to Dalton and me.  Over many restaurant double date dinners, I came to  learn how sweet and funny she is - a perfect match  for my brother!   He thought so too!  In April of 2022,  they were married :)  She is now his wife, my sister-in-law, and my  bridesmaid!

I first met Caleb through Kaitlyn and I knew
we were going to get along just fine. Sharing
interests with cars, games and going
shooting, to so much more. was extremely
happy to be apart of his big day in watching
him marry the love of his life and I'm very
excited to have him as apart of mine. I know
he is going to be an incredible brother in
law!

Ben and I have only known each other for a
few years but it has been a really fun few
years. From Georgia games in Nashville,
wing night at wild wings on Tuesday's and
boat/tubing days were Ben and A don't
want me to drive the boat. I was fortunate
enough to be apart of his wedding and I'm
very fortunate he is going to be apart of
mine!

AJ and I have known each other since were
about 5 years old. We grew up right down
the road from each other and used to do
everything together, from playing sports and
going to Georgia games to causing trouble
together and whatever else we could get
ourselves into. Some of my best childhood/
Adult memories were with Aj, even including
when last year he caught a treble hook on
the side of my face. 21 years later and he is
still my best friend and a brother to me!

I met Austin right after high school and we
have been best friends since. From late
night car rides to the lake to cruising around
the Caribbean without a care in the world
and now my roommate for the last 2 years.
We have been through a lot and I know
there is more to come in the future!

Me and John first met in history class in high
school and hit it off. From lake trips to late
night ultimate frisbee games and playing
pool in John's garage. Those were some of
the best times during high school and 10
years later and he is still one of my best
friends!

Downtown Greenville is a fun place to explore, and there are a lot of shops and restaurants!

Falls Park is in the center of Downtown Greenville. It is a beautiful walk through the park leading to a waterfall. I encourage those who have not seen it to go!

Gather Greenville is a place Dalton and I have gone before visiting friends. It is great for groups of people who have different food taste as this location offers an array of options. They are various shipping containers around a grassy area with seating and a stage for live music. They have 13 food and drink places at Gather GVL.
