Our Wedding

To understand the depth of the Lord's perfect timing in our love story you need our full backstories. Tyler and I are from the same small town and moved in very similar circles that never directly crossed paths. Tyler played football at Morristown West, was a lifeguard at Seven Oakes pool, and worked in youth ministry through Manley Baptist Church. He went to Carson Newman for his undergraduate degree, and moved to South Carolina to pursue his Doctorate in Chiropractic. I played volleyball at Morristown West, was a lifeguard at The Country Club pool, and worked in youth ministry through Younglife. I went to Carson Newman for my undergraduate degree, and moved to South Carolina to pursue my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy. The side by side comparisons of our resumes still blows my mind. Though we had extremely similar interests, hobbies, and upbringings we never crossed paths. I knew of Tyler and he knew of me (small town stuff), but that's about it. Surprisingly, our families had no connection to each other either (another small town shock). On our own paths, we each found incredible life long friendships that helped shape who we are today. Funny enough, many of Tyler's greatest friends were also my friends and vice versa. The list goes on and on of our "almosts." The closest being in college as Tyler was packing to move out of his beloved college house I was taking a tour of that same house, one floor above him, to snatch it once those boys moved out. (FYI boys, the White House was always a girl house!) The Lord saw us fit to finally meet in December of 2021. Our mutual connection, Marjorie Heskett, planted a small seed earlier that year that inspired Tyler to call. Our first date was full of "I know this about you" "I had no idea about __" "You know her, that's crazy!" "You worked where? With who? No way!" lol. Although our first date was plenty fun I left for Charleston to finish my degree 2 days later and wouldn't see Tyler again for at least 5 months, or so I thought. During long distance dating, our conversations started to get longer and more meaningful. We quickly realized we had a unique connection we both had been longing for.When we reflect, Tyler and I still marvel at how present the Lord was/is in our story. The Lords perfect timing is what brought us together, and we are quick to remind ourselves of His divine timing when plans don't go our way, throughout trials and tribulations, etc. We each were created with gifts the other doesn't have and compliment each other in the best ways. We are proud to walk by each other's sides. After all this time, we are finally ready to take the leap of faith the Lord has intended for us. &amp; We are so honored to share this union with you!
