Our love story began at Live Oak High School in Watson, Louisiana. In a place too small to be called a "town," we never expected to find the person we would spend forever with! We were introduced and immediately started falling for each other. After a year of being friends, we became boyfriend and girlfriend on August, 21st, 2017. We had our first date at a bowling alley, and we have been on countless adventures since then. Through a flood, multiple hurricanes, a global pandemic, a few big moves, some car accidents, 3 graduations, and all the other crazy things life has thrown at us, our love has endured and is stronger than ever. God put us together and has blessed us every day since then! We are so excited to begin the next chapter of our story with our friends and family cheering us on.

As a gift to Ari, Evan planned a fun-filled trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee in July 2023. We had so much fun hiking, tubing, enjoying nature, seeing a concert, and spending time with friends. On the last day of our trip, we went to one of Ari's favorite places, Lookout Mountain. Walking through the beautiful gardens of Rock City, we decided to take some pictures on the swinging bridge. Next thing you know, Evan was down on one knee! After lots of happy tears, the excitement sent in that we were ENGAGED! We can't wait to have all our favorite people with us for this magical celebration of our love. See you soon!
