Our Wedding

September 3rd, 2022. Labor day weekend in Destin, FL. Maigen and Seth, one on a bachelorette party, and the other on a bachelor trip, both set out on boats to spend the day with their parties at crab island. Sometime during the day, the two groups crossed paths in the water, and stopped to talk. This is where Maigen and Seth first saw each other. The mingling led to the two exchanging numbers, in hopes they would meet up to hangout as groups later that evening. To their disappointment, that was the first, and last time they would get to see each other that weekend, but it was more than enough. Continuous texting, phone calls, and facetimes, kept the two in touch for months, building a friendship that would become so much more.Fast forward to November of 2022, Seth books a “work” flight to Nashville to take Maigen out on a date for the first time. They ended up hanging out all three days Seth stayed in town. Both knew that what they were doing was crazy, and a future together would be incredibly difficult, but God used those three days to build an instant friendship that would rapidly grow.For 2.5 years, Maigen and Seth made the impossible into their reality. Countless flights back and forth to one another, taking trips to California, Buffalo NY, Florida, Arizona, and even meeting in the middle just to see each other for a short weekend in Starkville, MS, they made it work. While it came with many challenges, they relied on God and each other to get through anything that stood in their way. In July of 2025, the long distance was finally over. Only a couple of months after moving to Nashville, Seth pulled a ring out of his cowboy boot and proposed.
