Our Wedding

Hamilton and I met during my senior year at Mississippi State University. We had many mutual friends and I knew of Hamilton for a long time, but did not meet until spring semester of my senior year. After I stepped away from MSU Cheer, I decided to do CrossFit at TaylorMade fitness to keep me active. A couple of months later, Hamilton also started CrossFit at the same gym in preparation for Officer Candidate School for the Marine Corps. We were two of the only 5:00 AM class college students.   As I was already an avid 5:00 am-er, Hamilton came one morning in January 2023 for his first class and never stopped coming. Over the next four months, we grew as friends. I never imagined during our time together at the gym that we would be getting MARRIED???   From January until graduation in May, I was able to get to know Hamilton and hear his story. I had the upmost respect for him. It was not hard to see that he was a God-fearing man, pursuing a career in the military out of sheer obedience to God. I loved hearing about the way he worked wholeheartedly like the way Paul describes in Colossians. As his friend, I became so curious of what it would be like to be by his side through his career in the Marine Corps.   But... May 2023 came and I graduated Mississippi State and moved to Jackson to start law school at Mississippi College School of Law. At the same time, he was headed to Quantico, VA for officer candidate school (OCS) for 10 weeks then returning to Mississippi State for his senior year. So, I convinced myself that the Lord had something different for us. It was not practical, and it did not make sense.   I could not have been more wrong. After we went separate ways, Hamilton pursued me with his whole heart even from Quantico. For the first four weeks of OCS, we could not talk at all. During those four weeks with no communication, we both prayed, asking the Lord to lead us and show us His will. When he finished OCS in August 2023, I hopped on a plane, flew to Texas, and met his family for the first time. By the end of August, I knew I was going to marry Hamilton.   By March of 2024 we were engaged. Looking forward, our wedding is June 7, 2025 and thereafter Hamilton will begin flight school for the Marine Corps in Pensacola, Florida where we will be living. I will be wrapping up law school remotely as much as I can and will graduate with my Juris Doctor degree in May of 2026.   To our friends and family, we love you all so much. Thank you for being here and supporting us. As we know that military life will have its challenges, we ask for your continued prayers as we adjust to marriage and navigate military life.
