Our Wedding

When a Mississippi girl meets a mountain man... Like all great modern love stories, ours began with a simple swipe — or rather, a match on Facebook Dating. Caleb messaged first (bonus points for bravery), and our very first conversation was about… Audiology. Not the most traditional icebreaker, but somehow the perfect start to something extraordinary. On June 9, 2024, we met in person for the first time at Garden of the Gods. What was supposed to be a casual date turned into a six-hour adventure. We wandered among the red rocks, talked about everything under the sun, and even shared a laugh when a ranger warned us about a storm rolling in. The storm was miles away, but for us, it felt like the calm before the most wonderful storm of all — falling in love. The night didn’t end there. We headed to Red Leg Brewery, where the conversation flowed as easily as the drinks. By the time the evening was over, it was clear this was no ordinary first date. (And to prove it, we went on four more dates that very first week — when you know, you know!) Months later, at a friend’s wedding in March 2025, Caleb realized he didn’t want to spend his life with anyone else. Surrounded by vows, love, and questionable dance moves, it became crystal clear that this was forever. Not long after, on the Oregon coast at the perfectly named Hobbit Beach, Caleb planned the surprise of a lifetime with the help of his sister, Faith. Lilly had no idea what was coming — and yes, he managed to get down on one knee without losing the ring in the sand. A win for both romance and coordination! Since that very first week, we’ve shared so many adventures — hiking new trails, exploring new places, trying new breweries — but the best adventure is just beginning. We cannot wait to celebrate our wedding day surrounded by the people we love most, and to begin this next chapter together.
