From The Bride:
(Bride Side of story)
I remember moving out of my apartment in May 2014. Amanda Smith (one of my best friends for over a decade and now bridesmaid) and I were on the back of a truck sitting on the 200 pound couch we just lifted, and I casually asked, “So, does Lee (her boyfriend) currently have any single, successful, attractive male friends?” She said, “Yea, his brother Corey, but he lives in Florida…however, I think he might move back next May!” I asked to see a picture, and I was convinced he needed to move back to Alabama sooner because I needed to meet this guy ASAP!
After our talk, Amanda sent him a message from MY Facebook (without my permission)! After an unexpected quick response back, for the next 3 months we could not stop trying to get to know each other more and more. We talked for 5-6 hours EVERY night for 2 months straight. We did not care how sleepy we were, it was like we were kids again and nothing else mattered but our time on the phone each night. Then after hours and days upon talking and feeling like we knew everything about each other, it was finally time to meet face to face! Our first date was a wedding! How ironic right?! After what seemed like HOURS waiting for him to get to my apartment (10 whole minutes), I opened the door to this handsome gentleman in a suit with a handful of flowers asking, “Am I at the right apartment? I am looking for a wedding date?” After that cheesy intro which made me giggle like a little school girl, we were inseparable and made every effort to see each other until he finally moved back to Alabama! Side note, he ended up moving back 6 months earlier than he originally planned, I like to think I had something to do with that 😉
It was only a matter of time before we decided to unify our love and commit to a lifelong journey together! 4/8/17 was the best day ever and we wanted to share it with everyone we love so dearly!
