James and Bethany met their freshmen year of college in 2016 when a mutual friend set them up. Their first date was not like most, it consisted of James and 5 of his buddies taking turns doing tricks on the water. James of course stole the show showing off his amazing talents. Bethany was star struck by this well rounded, uber talented young man and so the rest is history. During college, James and Bethany lived on the water, literally and figuratively. Some of their favorite memories on the water are from annual trips down to the Florida Keys with James’ family. They had always dreamt of one day getting married in the Keys. James proposed to Bethany a few months ago on the bow of the boat. Bethany thought they were going to dinner by boat to celebrate each others recent accomplishments but James had an even better celebration in mind. Needless to say, Bethany said yes and they had a wonderful dinner celebrating with family and friends. We truly can't wait to be back in one of our favorite places, celebrating our union, with some of our favorite people in November! We feel so blessed by God to have each other and each of you supporting our future marriage.
