HOW WE MET
Austin and I both played on a local mixed doubles tennis league . We were paired up as partners for a match one day . We had never met before , but we won our match that day ! We started talking after , which led to many fun dates , including practicing tennis together !
THE PROPOSAL
After my nephew ’ s birthday party , we had lunch with family downtown . Afterward , I was ready to go home for a nap , but Austin insisted we walk around downtown to “ shop for Christmas presents .” We walked around , bought truffles from Sweet Cacao , and decided to enjoy them in the garden outside the Municipal Auditorium . Before I knew it , Austin had downed four truffles . He was nervous ! Next thing I knew , he asked me if there was another truffle in the bag . I looked down , and he had placed the ring in the bag . I was shocked , and we both laughed and then I cried tears of joy !
THE DRESS
I tried on dresses at Vocelles in Tallahassee with my mom and two sisters , but I did not feel I found the one that day . My mom and I went to White Weddings in Valdosta , and I tried on several more . I narrowed it down to two dresses I loved and decided I found the one !
FAVORITE DETAILS
I loved spending the morning at my parent ’ s house getting ready with my sisters and bridesmaids . I also loved our first look at Pebble Hill . I was so excited for Austin to see me in my dress !
