Atlanta Engagement Session: Kimberly + Justin

Kimberly + Justin

ATLANTA, GA

WEDDING DATE: March 25, 2019 WEDDING LOCATION: Acworth, GA

HOW THEY MET: We met in a mutual friend's Facebook group. We instantly connected because we both attended Auburn University around the same time, but didn't know each other. Kim: “One day I felt bold and put the word "Bae" under one of Justin's comments in the group. He immediately sent me a private message and we started conversing regularly at that point, then met in person a few months later. We've been together ever since.” Justin: “Kim had ‘shot her shot’ under one of my comments. We eventually started talking frequently. We later met in person and we were inextricable ever since.”

THE PROPOSAL: After spending the weekend visiting my parents in Alabama, I spent the ride back home thinking about how I would propose. I have had plenty of ideas as to how I would pull it off but that would likely require more time to make happen. Once I made it home, Kim and I were having a conversation (which was probably on the animated side) while she was in bed most likely watching TV when it came to me to just do it. I left under the guise of having to

unpack something and went to the hiding spot I had for the ring. I soon returned to the room Kim was in and got on one knee and proposed. And of course, she said yes!

HOW HAS WEDDING PLANNING BEEN SO

FAR? The planning has been very low stress by design. From the beginning, we have tried to choose things that would cause the least amount of stress, such as an all inclusive venue, since we only had 7 months to plan. Then with the help of our wonderful event planner, Val at One Touch Events, we have been really stressfree throughout the process. Overall, the venue and vendors alleviated every possible reason to be stressed and were a pleasure to work with.
