Luke and I first met at a Halloween party in college. Luke had recently moved back to Charlotte and joined the swim club at UNCC which was run by Christa O'Laughlin. I was in school at Queens University but Christa was childhood best friends with my roommate Hailey. As luck would have it, we were all invited to her party. Luke and I met early in the evening and spent the rest of the night talking and laughing together. I was surprised when he texted me the following morning asking me out to dinner; but the next week we went on our first "official" date to the Cheesecake Factory. By December I was ready to introduce Luke to my parents and on his first trip to Cherokee we both knew we were in love. After that, as they say, the rest is history. 4.5 years, 3 college degrees, and 2 major relocations later, Luke proposed on campus at Queens University over Valentine's Day weekend. Since that day we have gone through another major relocation as I moved back to Charlotte from New York. Throughout the last 5 years Luke and I have been through a lot together and we are so excited for the next chapter of our lives. Thank you for joining us as we start our life together!
