HOW THEY MET: Every Sunday night after church, our college group would always go out to eat. One night they all decided to go to Arby's. But I didn't like Arby's. I was in the mood for pizza that night. :) But I wanted to hang out with everyone, so I went anyway. When I arrived, a few of my friends were standing outside in the parking lot talking. Kevin happened to be standing with them. They were talking about the movie Good Will Hunting. I mentioned that I had never seen it, and they all started to say how great it was and that I should see it. So I said they should all come over to my house and we could order a pizza and rent the movie! :) So they all came, and since Kevin was standing with them, he came too, and that's how we met. :) After we started dating, I found out that Kevin's favorite restaurant is Arby's and he HATES the movie Good Will Hunting, but he came that night because he thought I was pretty. :)

THE ENGAGEMENT

Their engagement was announced on July 29, 2001.

HOW THEY GOT ENGAGED: I always looked at bridal magazines before Kevin and I got engaged, just for the fun of it. In the magazines, I saw the most beautiful Scott Kay Platinum ring. Unfortunately, no store in Auburn carried it, so I was unable to see it in person. One day I was shopping for wedding jewelry with my friend who had just gotten engaged, and I saw a ring almost exactly like the one in the magazines. I immediately fell in love with it. A couple of weeks later, Kevin and I spent the day in Birmingham, and we went into a jewelry store that sold the Scott Kay ring so I could see it in person for the first time. After looking at it and trying it on, I said , "I like it, but you know, I think I liked the one I saw in Auburn better." That night Kevin proposed with the ring I'd seen at the store in Auburn. :)

Their wedding date is set for May 31, 2002. Their wedding will take place at Lakeview Baptist Church in Auburn, AL. Their reception will be held at Keisel Park.
