Love is in the air for a few Georgetown College students this fall with two exciting engagement announcements in the past two weeks alone! The happy couples include student Kaci Currens and her now fiancé Jacob Crouch, and students Bell White and Joshua Copley.

Kaci and Jacob both hail from Anderson County and were high school sweethearts. Jacob proposed on Sep. 14 in Nashville right in front of the Grand Ole Opry. While taking a picture in front of the Opry house sign, Jacob asked Kaci to close her eyes and said he had gotten her a bracelet. When she opened her eyes she saw the bracelet with the words “Will you marry me?” and Jacob down on one knee.

Jacob plans to pursue medical school to become a doctor, and Kaci will be pursuing a career in elementary education. “I am very blessed that the Lord has placed Jacob in my life. I know that for the rest of my life I will have my best friend beside me in all that I do, Jacob is one of the greatest treasures in my life,” Kaci beamed.

While Kaci’s love story began in high school, Bell and Joshua found love right here at Georgetown College. They met in the spring of 2017 in Dr. Kirven’s Spanish class. They began dating the following fall and the rest is history. Joshua proposed this past Sunday, Sep. 23, in the same room where the two first met.

Both had just gotten back from Florida for the weekend watching the Tigers take on Keiser University in football. Joshua asked Bell to meet him in their old classroom in the library. At this point, she didn’t think anything of it and figured it was probably just a good place to study because no one would be in there. When Bell got to the classroom the very first picture the couple ever took was projected on the screen and Josh was there waiting with a letter for her.

Bell explained what happened next “I began reading the letter and Joshua came up behind me and I could feel his heart beating super fast and I asked him, ‘Why is your heart beating so fast?’ He answers, ‘Because I have another question for you.’ He gets down on one knee and asks, ‘Carrie Bell, will you please marry me?’”

Both Kaci and Bell are graduating a year early this spring but neither has an official wedding date set. Bell and Joshua plan on staying in Kentucky and are overjoyed with this exciting time in their lives. She stated, “Right now we are just praising our Lord and Savior for this union and trusting in His plan for our lives.”
