Mabry and I met over 15 years ago... in kindergarten! We were blessed to attend Providence Academy together for thirteen years. We started dating in junior year of high school, and now, five years later, I get to marry my best friend. When Mabry proposed to me on Roan Mountain in March 2024, I was completely surprised, but saying yes was easy! We thank God for the grace and love that He has shown us throughout our relationship. We pray that we will continue to seek Him as we begin this new chapter together. “What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen each other in all labour, to minister to each other in all sorrow, to share with each other in all gladness, to be one with each other in the silent unspoken memories?” ~ George Eliot
