Wedding Date on May 27, 2017

From The Bride: Von and I first met on October 2nd of 2010 on EKU’s campus, and our first date just so happened to be exactly one year later on October 2nd of 2011 (so not planned, but I love it and that is definitely our special day J). We had an instant connection and could not get enough of each others company. We were young (19 & 20) but so in love! After three years of dating we packed up all of our belongings in Kentucky and moved 3 hours north, to Bloomington, Indiana because Von got a full scholarship to Indiana University Maurer School of Law!!!! Tell me that isn’t something to be proud of?! We moved into our very first place together and life was AMAZING! Then, after almost a year of living in Bloomington together, we got engaged on September 7th of 2015!!!! We both had that day off of school and work, so Von planned for us to take a trip up to Indianapolis for the day to do some shopping and go to one of my favorite restaurants, Buca DiBeppo. After dinner he suggested that we go check out downtown Indianapolis since it was such a nice evening, and I had never been. We went to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument and ended up taking a carriage ride through downtown Indianapolis, it was such a beautiful ride! Then, to my surprise, right as we were about to get off of the carriage Von asked the coachman if she could take our picture in the carriage…and as I posed for the picture, he got down on one knee and asked me if I would spend the rest of my life with him! Wedding planning was a bit stressful, as I did most of it on my own while also working full time and being a full time student at IU. But it all worked out beautifully! Von and I both graduated from Indiana University on May 5th and got married just a few weeks later on May 27th! Needless to say, May was an amazing month for us and we feel beyond blessed for all the love and support we've received from family and friends!
