From Valdosta to Forever

Who knew that one message sent via Twitter on June 3rd, 2016 would lead us here. "Are you taking classes this summer? "One week later two enthusiastic freshmen, brought together by chance, quickly became inseparable. Living just steps away from each other in the same dorm hall, we built a connection rooted in friendship, laughter, and endless memories.

Our first date was a Braves game hosted by the summer program, and our first official date soon followed—a fun night of bowling on August 1st, Norman made it official, asking Psalms to be his girlfriend on National Girlfriend Day. From that moment, we became partners in everything, sharing life’s ups and downs.

College life was a whirlwind, but we navigated it together. Norman played football, and Psalms was his biggest supporter through early mornings and late nights. We spent countless nights studying together in the library until 3 a.m. and even worked side by side at jobs like Old Navy, Big Nick’s, and Cajun Wild Crab.

As we grew together, we documented our journey through YouTube videos, capturing the fun and challenges of our college days. On June 16th, 2018 we adopted our first addition to the family our fur baby Rylee Thrasher. After graduation, the adventure didn’t stop, We moved back home to Atlanta, Georgia in 2021 to embrace adulthood.

Italy became a special part of our story in 2022, inspiring us with its rich history and breathtaking views. A nine hour flight to Milan and a two hour train ride over to Venice, It was during this trip we dreamed of one day celebrating our wedding in Italy.

As time has flown by 2023 & 2024 we have celebrated career milestones, moving into a new home and exploring the world together while creating those loving memories in between.

September 2024 Psalms and Norman welcomed their second fur baby and little brother to Rylee, Teddy Thrasher.

November 22nd, 2024 Norman proposed in the most magical way—a sunset proposal in Montego Bay, complete with a fire show. Nostalgia fills the air as we reminisce about our first international trip to Jamaica in 2020—a perfect way to celebrate nearly a decade of love, partnership, and shared dreams.

As we look ahead to our wedding day, we are reminded of how far we’ve come and how much we’ve grown together. This journey has been nothing short of incredible, and we can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter with all of you!

Here’s to a lifetime of adventures, love, and laughter—our story is just beginning!
