Sometimes, love takes its time. We met once before, but life had other plans. So we waited—a year, and when the timing finally aligned in 2021, we found our way back to each other. From that moment on, we’ve been inseparable.

Together, we’re raising two incredible boys and one very loved fur baby. We’ve weathered storms—figuratively and literally but through it all, we’ve held tight to each other and the life we’re building, including our forever home.

Now, about that proposal…

Dylan meant to pop the question during a TikTok “paint your partner” trend, but the ring didn’t show up on time. So instead, he carried it around for days, waiting for the perfect moment. That moment? It came during Hurricane Helena. There we were—in the middle of chaos—when he asked the question I’d waited years to hear. It wasn’t exactly part of the plan, but somehow it was perfectly us.

On November 1, 2025, in Habersham, Georgia, we’ll begin our next chapter as husband and wife.

This day marks the beginning of a new chapter—but our story, filled with patience, resilience, and more love than we could have imagined, has already been years in the making. We can’t wait to celebrate it with all of you.
