Our Wedding

We originally met during our undergraduate program at the University of North Georgia. We graduated in 2015 and reconnected in April of 2021. From that point on, we spent a lot of our free time together. We would take James' dog, Yeti, on walks at a nearby park, go on drives in the mountains, and play disc golf. This transformed into exploring many of the small towns in the Southeast, playing even more disc golf courses, and spending time with our "banana dog," Charlie. We are so excited for more adventures together! We cannot wait to celebrate and see everyone!
