Tell us about your love story!

We went on our first date and never stopped hanging out! 2nd date was the next day! He's seriously my best friend, so cliche, but so true. We love concerts and sports (2020 was hard) but those things are our fuel. Music, traveling, cooking, beachin' are our favorite things. We aren't too boujie, so life is pretty easy haha.

How did you meet?

HINGE! Don't knock it 'til you try it! HA

How did you know it was meant to be?

We weren't playing games! We both knew what we wanted. Our morals and views and hobbies all started lining up, so life just clicked. The second my brother approved I was all in ;). Here's a story!! (didn't know you were signing up for this) We met the week before the NFL Draft in 2019, and my company played a role in producing and hosting other events surrounding it. I was going to secretly test him to see if he can make it through an event with me, and the stress, long hours, (some) complaining, that comes with it. And he did!! Not only that, but the day after, he took my car to get detailed, oil changed, new tags (bc i was so behind with normal life things). He just DOES things. Without asking. It's amazing, and I want to be more like him everyday!! now that I'm crying... haha

Tell us about any special traditions or sentimental things you're adding to the wedding.

Nothing super crazy, but we are getting married exactly one year from day we got engaged. Down to the 4:30 mark!

Any wedding planning tips for future couples?

Enjoy being engaged. It's so exciting. Let your friends and family spoil you. For the guys - ask if she needs help. If she says no, ask again. Haha

What was one of the most stressful things about wedding planning?

Realizing that the only people you need to please are you and your fiancé. Its not anyone else's wedding! Hard to do if you're a people pleaser - but well worth it.
