In September of 2018, I received a sweet message on Instagram from a random boy (who would eventually be my husband) after posting about how hard my first year of high school had been. He was telling me how everything would work out and not to let people get to me. We did not talk much after that until later in 2019 we reconnected, thanks to his mom who told him to "call that pretty blonde girl!" We clicked immediately and we were inseparable.

At only 14 and 16 years old, we spent every single day together. He got me through high school, many friendships, nursing school, and through some of the best and worst times of my life. Peyton clicked with all of my family and friends. My parents got the son they never had lol! We have created so many memories together and I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives making more!!!

On September 9th, 2023, Peyton planned the proposal of my dreams. I always told him that I wanted to pick the ring, have my whole family there, and have a photographer. He absolutely outdid himself. I thought I was throwing Peyton the BEST 21st birthday party anyone ever had. My mom was at his mom's house for hours working on decorations and they were sending me pictures of his cake and everything in between. I was so worried about getting Peyton to "go on a date" in the middle of an Ole Miss Football game lol. If you ask anyone that was there, I didn't realize we were getting engaged until I saw the big letters and balloons!!! It was nothing short of perfect and I wish I could relive that day every single day.

I am so excited to be Peyton's wife and spend the rest of forever together!!!!

As we look back on the journey that brought us to this moment, I can only think of how blessed we were to find each other at the time we did. It's hard to believe that it's been five and a half years since we first met, and yet, it feels like we have known each other forever. From our first date to our countless adventures together, every moment has been a reminder of the love and connection we share.

As we are getting ready for our big day and the next chapter in our lives, we are filled with excitement. We are so unbelievably grateful for the laughter, the tears, and the memories we have shared, and we can't wait to see what the future holds. We are thrilled to share this journey with our friends and family and we can't wait to celebrate with you all on our special day.
