Athletics at Belmont Abbey College creates a great environment to develop relationships with so many people. We never anticipated that the baseball player would come back to work and catch the eye of a standout volleyball star. After graduation we got to know each other more as she helped during game events. After an epic Instagram encounter we haven’t stopped talking since.

Taking advantage of some spontaneous plans, we found ourselves on a ferry traveling to the Magic Kingdom of Disney World. Fighting lines, we finally entered into the park and as we were walking down Main Street U.S.A, a photographer kindly asked if we would like our picture taken. After getting the normal portrait taken, I seized the moment, took a knee, and presented the ring. Completely shocked, she teared up, as hundreds of other park goers started applauding and cheering. After a perfect embrace, kisses, and more pictures we spent the rest of the day taking in the magic.
