Our Wedding

For those that know it and those that don't,  here's the story!

The first time Savannah and Aaron were in the same room was 2018. Savannah went to visit her mom at the school she taught where Aaron was in her class. They were supposed to be watching a video but Aaron decided it was his time to shine, so he got up in front of the class and made his own presentation of sorts. As Savannah tells the story, her mom told Aaron to stop and he responded rudely, so that day Savannah swore she'd hate Aaron Powell for the rest of her days (she ended up breaking that...) A couple of years later, they were at the graduation party of a mutual friend, Elise Bright. They ended up on a group trip to Sonic and Savannah thought "okay, he's not the worst person in the world" and they went about their days. In 2021, Savannah started a Bible study with a friend of hers, and Tyler Jackson, a mutual friend, invited Aaron to join. Over the years, the friendship between Savannah and Aaron began to grow. They started out strong by making eye contact from across the room randomly and trying to see who could drop their face and last the longest (Savannah always won because it always cracked Aaron up and still does to this day.) Over the course of three years, it grew to making jokes, sitting next to each other on the couch, hanging out at game nights, and just learning how to be good friends. At a one year old's birthday party (where a bunch of ridiculous 20 somethings showed up in matching t-shirts), Aaron made his first "move" by telling Savannah that her back was sweaty (guys reading this, that's not really the way to a girl's heart). They started talking and hanging out throughout the summer with other friends and they really started to like hanging out around each other. Savannah was in complete denial because she only saw their friendship and didn't picture anything more but knew she loved hanging out with Aaron. After lots of movies and late night hang outs with friends, Savannah and Aaron realized they were into each other. Through lots of weird moments trying to figure out if the other was interested, they finally owned up to it and spent an entire evening talking about how it all developed. They went on their first date and it was nothing short of WILD. The date consisted of practically every young adult they went to church with being there, a random couple getting engaged RIGHT BEHIND THEM, frogs being out (if you know Savannah you know this was horrible), going to a custard place, and laughing at funny senior photoshoots. It's safe to say it was a date to go down in the history books. The rest of the story looks like falling in love, laughing all the time, having good/hard/challenging/eye opening/sweet conversations, seeing the Lord make each other look more like Him, enjoying life being best friends, and now preparing for marriage!!! Their friends Will, Montana, and Cruz apparently "called this" a long time ago. So here it is guys... you were right.

Our Story

Our first picture together! We were trying not to let the other know how we felt so it was as weird and fuzzy as this picture

Our first date! (and one of Aaron's favorite pictures)

One of the few days we were the only ones that knew we were dating. Sweet and fun!

This is New Year's Eve 2024! Who would've thought we would be getting married a year from this day?!?!

The day we got engaged!!! These pictures show off the joy weboth felt during these wonderful moments!(Also, ignore the fact that we are the same height even thoughAaron is on his knee...)

Showing off the ring but also meaning BUSINESS!

And a moment for the RING!!!

Selfie we took to show Savannah's nail lady (who was in on it the whole time?!)

Post engagement shock looking at a shared album called"THE POWELLS 🥳🥳🥳" and realizing this was a reality!!!
