Garrett and I met in the fifth grade when he moved to Jackson. We were friends our entire time at Trinity. Senior year, Garrett asked me to prom and we started dating 2 weeks later! Garrett was going to Union University to play golf, and I was going to Union to play basketball. We continued dating and became each other’s best friend. This past summer before Garrett and I began our senior year of college, we flew down to Florida to visit some of his family. One day during our visit, I went shopping with his grandmothers while Garrett stayed behind to fish with his uncle and grandfather. What I didn’t know was that he was setting up to propose! He had flown my mom, my sister, and his mom down to celebrate with us. When we were finished shopping and were heading back to the house for dinner, Garrett called me and told me to come around the side of the house to see an alligator they had supposedly seen in the lake. However, when I walked around the corner, instead of an alligator, I saw the dock fully decorated and Garrett standing there waiting on me. He walked me down to the end of the dock and proposed! We are so excited to grow together and live life together!
