Will and I first met in May of 2020. I was at a bonfire with my friend when he pulled up, and we were introduced. Most of the time I was there he rode around on a dirt bike while everyone else sat around the fire, so we didn’t get to talk much.
(BACK STORY: I knew who Will was because one time I saw him at the moonshine festival with my friend (and maid of honor) Anslee when we were in middle school. I remember freaking out when I saw him because of how cute I thought he was.)
Anyways, flash forward to Summer 2020. A couple weeks after officially meeting, Will and I began talking more and more over the phone. We went on a few dates before he asked me to be his girlfriend. He asked me on July 16th, 2020 after we ate at Osaka with a dozen red roses he had hid in his truck. If you know Will then you know how much he loves Osaka and could eat it every week, so its a special place for us. After freshman year of college, I decided to move back home to pursue a career in ultrasound. We’ve done nothing but grow closer and closer with time.
He popped the big question December 10th, 2022 at his Grandpas land which will forever be our favorite place. We have many memories of deer hunting, shooting skeet, duck hunting, riding four wheelers, and taking Duke swimming at this land. He surprised me with a picnic in the back of his truck which I had always mentioned wanting to do. After he asked, our families showed up to celebrate with us which was perfect in every way. We have grown up together in so many ways these past 3 years and cant wait to build a life together!
