Our journey began when we first crossed paths freshman year at the University of Alabama. We got to know each other over game nights with friends, cheering on the Crimson Tide, playing volleyball, and so much more. Despite starting as friends, our connection grew stronger each passing year.

It wasn't until our senior year that I realized our friendship had evolved into something more. Shawn became the person I wanted to spend all of my free time with, the one I wanted to talk to after a long day, and, most importantly, the one who could make me laugh the hardest. Following a night out to one of our favorite bars, I not-so-elegantly demanded Shawn to take me on a date. From that moment, our relationship took on new depths filled with love and endless adventure.

Through periods of long distance while Shawn lived in Phoenix and Tuscaloosa, and I in Tampa and Atlanta, we grew to understand each other more deeply and what we truly wanted in life. Settling down in Greenville, SC, with our dog Pippa, we purchased our first home together in November 2022. Throughout our five years together, he has become my biggest supporter, my closest confidant, and my deepest love. Last summer in Ravello, Italy, Shawn asked me to marry him, and without hesitation, I said yes!

As we prepare to exchange vows surrounded by family and friends, I could not be more excited for the chapter that lies ahead. I cannot wait to embark on this journey as husband and wife, embracing whatever the future may hold.
