It’s hard to believe it’s been more than five years since we met at UTC. Time has flown, but looking back, it feels like every step led us exactly here. One of the first things that brought us together was something kind of silly — our birthdays are just a day apart (His: April 1st, Hers: April 2nd).

From the start, we both knew there was something different about each other. We noticed the little things — his grounded, steady way that makes everyone feel welcome, and her warm, down-to-earth nature that draws people in. Being with each other just felt natural from the beginning, and every day since then has only made that feeling stronger.

Over the years, our relationship has grown around the simple things we love doing together: trying new foods (he always lets her have the first and last bite), cooking when we can, working out, exploring little adventures, and just enjoying life side by side. Those quiet, everyday moments — the ones that make up most of life — are the ones we treasure the most.

The proposal was unforgettable. The afternoon started with Italian food — our favorite — and then headed to Lookout Mountain. Snow had fallen, the sunset was painting the sky in gold and pink, and the view was breathtaking. He asked her to marry him, and it was the easiest yes we’ve ever shared. Exciting, emotional, magical — it felt big and special, but totally us.

Looking back, it’s amazing to see how God’s plan has guided us to this moment. We’re so grateful for His timing and the way He brought us together, and we can’t wait to continue walking through life hand in hand, trusting His plan every step of the way.

Now, after more than five incredible years together, we’re so excited to start this next chapter surrounded by the people who have supported and loved us along the way.
