Home

Jeremy and Elizabeth met in Starkville, MS during her last year of Veterinary School. They were introduced through a mutual friend that Elizabeth met during an externship in Holly Springs, MS (Jeremy's hometown). The first time that they met, Jeremy thought it was hilarious that Elizabeth had an extreme distaste for the former Clemson QB that now played for Jeremy's favorite college team, Ole Miss. If you know Jeremy, you know he likes you if he aggravates and teases you. BOY did he aggravate Elizabeth about Chad Kelley. So that's where it all started. Thanks, Chad! Elizabeth loved Jeremy's ability to aggravate her and constantly make her laugh. Their bond grew stronger as they discovered so many things they have in common. They both love spending time with their beloved dogs, cooking, fishing, laughing, Christmas time, and spending time with family and friends. From there their relationship continued to blossom.

Our Love Story 

Jeremy knew that Elizabeth really wanted her family in attendance to help celebrate her engagement. So, he planned to propose over Elizabeth's Christmas vacation. He planned to take her to the Christmas lights, as that is something they love doing together every year! However, Mother Nature did not cooperate, and it rained every day they were in Georgia. Jeremy then initiated "Plan B." Jeremy and Elizabeth both have a very soft spot for animals, and both LOVE the Georgia aquarium, so he decided that would be where he popped the question! Elizabeth's Mom and Sister were hiding to capture the big moment on film! You'll have to get Elizabeth to show you the video her mom took. :) There were beautiful images taken to remember this moment forever.
