Actress, teacher, cat lover. My fiancé and I met in college and have been together ever since – he proposed on our 7 year dating anniversary. We're getting married at a vineyard in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and we're inspired by the natural romance of the setting. October can't come soon enough!

Happily married 🎉
