He says they met at Walmart. “It doesn’t count if I don’t remember it” she responds. She politely corrects him, “We met at Keller Hall at Auburn University.” She explains that she was visiting his roommate when they were “properly” introduced. 2 weeks after their “first” introduction, she can’t figure out why she likes him but… she does. From there, a friendship flourished. They say the best relationships come from great friendships and one January day they put this theory to the test; a relationship bloomed. On her birthday, 4 years later, riding in a hot air ballon, he asks her to be his wife. She knows exactly why she loves him and she says yes.

I drove to Auburn (the place they met) to take my best friend and her fiancee’s engagement photos. I was honored, to say the least. I’m so happy for the two of you and even though I won’t be able to shoot your wedding, I look forward to participating in your special day.
