Our story began at The University of Georgia where we were classmates in the Athletic Training program. We met in August of 2017 and got to know each other during classes and events. We became friends and began to spend more time together outside of class as the year went on. After getting to know each other better, we started dating in the fall of 2018. We spent the next year growing our relationship over coffee dates, UGA sporting events, trips to the botanical gardens, and everything else Athens has to offer. After our first year together, job opportunities gave us a new challenge and adventure. Although the next 2 years were mainly spent 2,500 miles apart, our relationship and love for each other only grew stronger. After the long 2 years apart (only in distance), we knew that we had something special. Wendy's next job opportunity brought her back to Georgia and right down the road from where Stephen grew up allowing our relationship to grow even more. Getting to spend more and more time together made us realize that this is what we wanted our future to look like. On August 28, 2022 we went back to Athens where it all started to celebrate our 4 year anniversary. We spent the day visiting all of our favorite spots, including the botanical gardens, where Stephen FINALLY proposed. With Stephen graduating from his physician assistant program in May 2023, we couldn't have chosen a better time to begin our forever. We are so grateful for everyone who has helped us on this journey and excited to celebrate together!
