Wedding details
Dustin and I met in late September 2011 at Crosspoint Church in Clemson, SC. His beautiful sister Haley introduced us, and needless to say, Dustin doesn't remember this. About 10 minutes later, we were both standing outside of Ruby Tuesdays with friends who all decided to do lunch together. He reintroduced himself (since he didn't realize we had JUST met), and we immediately were drawn in to each others conversation and life. We began hanging out as often as possible, with our first hangout at the Botanical Gardens. Several months went by and he FINALLY asked me on a first date! He came over to my apartment complex and knocked on my door, asking what I was doing that Thursday evening, asked me on a date, to which I said "yes!" He then turned and ran off down the stairs, stopped halfway down, turned around and said, "I don't have anything planned yet, but I'll be in touch!" Then ran off to his car! First date: December 22, 2011. (My favorite number :-) Then begins our journey of dating. The one thing Dustin knows how to do is make a girl feel special. We don't just call an outing a date. He intentionally asks me on dates, and plans them. Always so special and full of laughs and memories! We went through a patch of time where we decided to intentionally not date to pursue spiritual growth, which led to the decision in September 2012 of him to pursue a thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail. He left in January of 2013 and felt called to return in March to grow in the church. We then continued to date and began talking about our lives together. July 18, 2013, he had set up our friends Shanon & Jon to take us to a nice dinner. He was running "late" from work, so the Thatchers wanted to show me a potential wedding site at the Botanical Gardens, then to come back to pick up Dustin. We drove over, and I walked up on this BEAUTIFUL scene of red roses lining a brick bridge leading up to a white pitched tent with fresh flower petals scattered, and then handsome Dustin to lead me to a chair. He then read me a love letter that had 22 promises he wanted to share with me, and asked me to marry him! I said "ABSOLUTELY!!! YES!!!" And that's just the start of our beautiful lives together!
