Sunny and Zeke met 2006 in their PE class at Northeast Campus of the high school. Neither of them would have ever imagined the love of their life would be the same person playing basketball or running the dreaded mile in their 9th grade class. The mile was dreaded by Sunny. Obviously.

Throughout high school Sunny and Zeke would hang out occasionally - attending the same proms, homecomings, and parties. College came and Zeke moved to Valdosta while Sunny attended ABAC.

In 2013, the two were reacquainted at a mutual friend's birthday party. The spark and attraction was there just as it had always been. They texted and talked for a few months. Zeke took Sunny deer hunting. They spent their first New Years together that December/January.

It took Zeke nine months, NINE MONTHS, to call Sunny his girl friend. They spent the next 6 and a half years graduating college, landing stable jobs, walking down in isle in friends' weddings together, buying a house, creating a home, and nurturing their love for one another.

On September 23, Zeke asked Sunny's parents for their blessing and approval to marry Sunny. They obviously approved. It took Zeke 24 days to propose.

October 17, 2020, they went hunting on the opening day of deer season like the had for the past 6 years. When they were done hunting, they checked the deer cameras they had out. They were so excited they had gotten two big bucks on camera. One being Sy Crumley's deer he had gotten on camera which makes it that much more amusing. After checking the last camera, Zeke walked up to Sunny and said, "I love you."

Sunny's instant reaction was, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" If you know Zeke, he doesn't say those three words barely at all. Sunny looked at him and realized his eyes were a little teary. No long story, no explanation of his love, just simple and straight to the point. He says, "Will you marry me?" Well duh! Sunny didn't wait 7 years for nothing.

Still in shock, all Sunny could say was, "This is weird" over and over and over again. Something she had waited on for sooooooo long had finally happened.

Zeke, relieved from the nervousness, said "I'm glad that's over. I never want to do that again."

Now Sunny and Zeke plan for their big day and are excited to share it with their closest friends and families.
