Carli and James met on the dating app, Coffee Meets Bagel, in October of 2016. After a few months of chatting and texting back and forth the two finally set a date to meet! For their first date we went to the most romantic date spot in all of Midlothian, Uptown Alley, where they sat and talked for over 4 hours. They met on December 8th, 2016, and ever since then they've been growing together as people and as a couple. They moved in together 8 months in, accumulated a small cat family, built careers side by side, bought a house and through it all became best friends and life partners.

Upon getting home from rehearsal, Carli walks in to find James holding a t-shirt she had been waiting to come in with 'Wilkerson' on the back. After getting excited and talking about all of the baseball games she would wear this shirt to, James simply said "well you can't wear that." Obviously surprised, Carli didn't know what he meant, because HE said getting HIS last name on the t-shirt was fine! So, in true Carli fashion she started having a fit, and in between her yelling, James was saying over and over "well it's not your last name," which sent Carli into even more of a rage. And then James said "it's not your last name YET!" And right there, in their living room with the cats fighting behind them, James pulled out a ring box got down on one knee and asked Carli to marry him. At this point Carli was floored and completely taken aback to the point that her shrieks of "ARE YOU SERIOUS" turned into sobs while sitting on the floor. And with that, began #CarliOnTheJames.
