When it comes to love, some people are said to destined for each other, and that seems to be the case for Whitney and William. They didn't know it in the beginning, but these two were made to find each other. Continue reading "#OurLoveStory – Whitney and William" »
Trent and I grew up together in Bryant, AR. For years, we went to school together, but never really knew each other. The first conversation I remember having with Trent was in middle school on a bus heading to Texas for a church trip. I had a $2 bill and he offered to trade me for $3. Little did I know, that silly conversation would stay in his memory. Senior year of high school we had several mutual friends, and got to know each other a little better. One night when I was working at Chick-Fil-A, Trent pulled into the drive-through with a large bouquet of flowers and asked me to go to prom with him. I was embarrassed but it was so sweet! I said yes and we went to prom as friends. We started dating soon after that on May 11, 2012. Continue reading "Our Story- Rachel & Trent" »
The Beginning
Colton and I grew up in the small town of Piggott and have always known each other through our families. But I remember the first time we talked, I was 5 and he was 8. Him and his grandpa brought a donkey to my house. Of course, I was following Colton around because I thought he was cool. The only thing he said was, “They have big ears don’t they?,” talking about the donkey. We started dating my junior year of high school, and the rest is history! Continue reading "Our Story- Colton and Hannah" »
The Beginning
It all started a few years ago at an event called Greek Week at Arkansas State University. As I was leaving the event a blue-eyed babe casually said, "Hey," as I walked by. I cautiously said, "Hey," back because I was unsure if he was speaking to me. Later that night someone with the name of mconner_5 added me on Snapchat and we started to snap almost everyday. A few weeks after Greek Week my big sister in my sorority, Madison Caldwell and her boyfriend set us all up to all hang out! I was so excited and anxious but it went great! After that Conner and I went on our official first date to see Spider Man.
The Proposal 
Conner and I had plans to go on a normal date night but when I got in the car I knew something was up. He told me the plans had changed a little bit and said that I couldn't ask any questions. He started handing me cards with little clues as to where we were going! We went and got my favorite candy, then shopped for a little bit, got some ice cream and then the next card said we were going home and getting ready for dinner! When we pulled into my driveway I had to close my eyes and was told to get on Conner's back! He carried me to my backyard… There were pink petals leading to a beautiful gazebo lit up with string lights. We sat down and he told me he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I happily said YES and we went to celebrate with family and friends!
Happily Ever After
Conner and I got married on June 11th! We had our wedding outside at Central Baptist Church in Jonesboro, AR. It was an amazing day that I will remember for the rest of my life!

The Beginning
Wil and I met on the track team at Arkansas State University. With the prettiest brown eyes and kindness like no one else, I liked him from the start. Before we started dating I remember that he asked me to come along on a John Mayer concert two months before it even took place. I, not trying to get my hopes up, assumed we were just going as friends. When the concert came around we had been on dates and not soon after that concert we were dating. Now we’ve been together for almost 2.5 years and we’ve had a lot of fun along the way.
The Beginning
Jack and I met at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, AR. He was dateless for his Sigma Chi formal sophomore year. I was a freshmen looking for a date and I was in the right place at the right time.
One night when we were sitting in my friend Ashley’s room and there was a knock on her door. I answered it and one of Jack’s friends was standing in the hallway with a card that read, “Come to the hallway.” I walked down the hallway to see Jack standing with a large bouquet of flowers and a sign with the question, “Will you go to formal with me?” Of course I said YES!
Seth and I actually grew up together at First Southern Baptist Church but never really knew each other! He was the drummer for the youth band and I knew I loved him when I saw that shaggy hair. We started dating in 2011 and got engaged September 3, 2015!
Our proposal is one of my favorites… We had been talking about getting married soon so I knew it was coming up. He wanted to throw me a birthday dinner but I hated having attention only on me so I thought it would be perfect to invite my best friend Kelsey to be a part of it too since her birthday was only a few days away! I was excited because now it would be a birthday dinner party for both of us.
Congratulations! You're engaged! Now what do you do? Here are a few tips to follow:

I’ll keep the story short. We met at Arkansas State University my freshman year and his senior year. We rode together on our way to a small bonfire somewhere out, well in the middle of nowhere. Hopping into a vehicle filled with my friends, my beaming smile quickly turned awkward when I realized I had to sit by a guy much older, and much cuter than I predicted. Never have I been awkward, but I admit I probably confused the poor guy.
When we got to the bonfire, our group split up in two ways and Jordan and I veered away from each other until the end of the night. Again, I hopped back into the truck to find Jordan in the same seat now greeting me with a bright smile. I couldn’t help but laugh! Jordan must have thought I hated him. As we rode home, we exchanged some smiles, awkward dance moves and a laugh or two.
The next night I got a message from Jordan asking if he could save me a “seat” in his friend’s truck on the way to the bonfire again. I took him up on the offer and left at the very end of a Miranda Lambert concert and sprinted all the way over to the KA house (Insert time to laugh at the thought of me sprinting in tight jeans, cowboy boots and a brown blazer) just in time to grab a seat by my new friend.
The ride there, bonfire and the ride home, we were glued to each other. Mainly laughing and getting to know one another, but when our ride dropped us off we weren’t tired yet. We quickly hopped into Jordan’s truck and drove all the way to his hometown and family farm for a grand tour. Returning home Continue reading "When You Know, You Know – My Unforgettable Proposal" »
