Where it all began…

Hayley and I have known each other a bit longer than some might think. After happening to sit down to dinner with mutual friends on spring break our Freshman year, I decided it was a wise idea to try and convince Hayley to try a fried pickle (one of my favs), a proposal to which she immediately refused. And... that was the last time we spoke for more than two years! Luckily our paths would cross again.

It wasn’t until the beginning of our Junior year at the University of Georgia, that we would meet again. Hayley must have been in a far better mood on this particular evening, given she didn’t immediately shut me down when I walked over to say “Hi.” It was just a few football games, date nights, and trips to our favorite sushi bar later that somehow there was already no turning back.

One of my favorite things about Hayley is that she has never been one to shy away from adventure. She famously solidified this following graduation by moving across the country to NYC so we could continue to be together. It wasn’t until almost two and a half years later, that I would find the courage to ask her that big question. On December 21st, 2017, a block away from our tiny studio apartment in downtown Manhattan, I asked Hayley Beatrice to marry me. For some reason, SHE AGREED!!!

Now we are on to our next adventure – we have moved from New York City to Dallas, we have both started new jobs, and we are ready to be married! We are honored and excited that you will be joining us in Savannah to celebrate!
