Our Wedding

Forrest &amp; Whitney met in 2013 while working for the USDA Soybean Breeding Program and attending North Carolina State University. Though graduating undergrad, attending graduate school together and beginning their careers, they both grew the foundation of their relationship through friendship for 8 years. In January 2021, Forrest &amp; Whitney finally went on their first official date after 8 years of friend lunches/dinners/outings. After over 1.5 years of dating, Forrest asked Whitney to marry him at the North Carolina State University Belltower on August 21, 2022 after church and lunch at one of their favorite college spots, Mitch's Tavern.
