Our story began the summer of 2019 in Destin, FL. Clay and I met at the beach that we both worked at. He ran beach chairs while I worked at The Sand Bar. Clay and I were good friends until we realized our relationship could be something serious. We both wanted to spend more time together, so we went on dates, and got to know each other more and more.

I went back to college in August, but that didn't stop us from hanging out. Clay drove two hours to Troy, AL once a week to hangout with me. I drove home on the weekends to hangout with him as well. On September 13th, 2019, we went on a fancy dinner date at Ruth Chris Steakhouse in Destin. Little did we know, that night would mean so much to us later on. That night, Clay asked me to be his girlfriend. Two days later, Clay moved back to Louisiana to start his career.

The next few years were full of unforgettable memories, a lot of trips to and from Louisiana, a few trials, new jobs, buying our first home, moving in together, and most importantly a lot of love.

On June 1st, 2023, Clay asked me to marry him! I will remember this day for the rest of my life. I have dreamed of this day since I was a little girl. Clay and I cannot wait to start the next chapter of our lives together on September 14th, 2024.
