OUR STORY
Our story started at McEachern High School when Morgan was a freshman, and Bryan a sophomore. Bryan took the first step and reached out to Morgan, and as we started spending more time together we realized that we had a very special connection.
Both of us headed to college in the Atlanta area where we focused on growing personally, studying hard, making new friends, and tackling fresh challenges. Even though we couldn't spend as much time together, our feelings for each other kept growing stronger, and we knew we wanted to keep our relationship going.
After graduation, Morgan went to Louisiana, and Bryan stayed in Atlanta to start our careers. Our future wasn't crystal clear at that point, but we were sure we'd find a way to be together. After a year of long-distance, Bryan decided to go back to school for his Master’s Degree in South Carolina. This made the distance even tougher, but by then, we were confident we could handle anything together.
Finally, we made a big move to Detroit – this time together! After three years of long-distance, we're having a blast exploring our new city, finding new interests together, and growing even closer. Bryan popped the question in January 2023 after months of hunting for the perfect ring and figuring out how to make the moment special.
We moved back home to Atlanta in April of 2024 and have loved being closer to family and friends, finding new fun hobbies to do together, and exploring new date night spots in the city.
After 13 years together, we're thrilled to finally call each other husband and wife. There's no better way to start this exciting new chapter than by celebrating our love with the people we care about most.
