Eryn + Jeremy: {Engaged} in Florida
Jeremy Mounticure and Eryn Walker absolutely did not hit it off when they first met at a Greek social in college.

Engagement Announcement: John + Angela’s School Love
John and I meet in 2007 . I was a Language Arts teacher for a middle school in Atlanta, and he was hired as the new band director. The band program at our school was struggling and he totally turned it around. I was inspired by his musical talent and his passion for teaching. John and I would eventually become friends. He was a consummate gentle man and his smile was infectious. When I would see him around the school, he would always ask me how my day was going, and he frequently had some funny story to tell me to brighten up my day. Though he attended every birthday party I invited him to, it did not hit me that John liked me as more than a friend. One day, a co worker approached me and laid it all on the table. She told me, “He’s got it for you real bad. He’ll even switch schools to date you.” At first I was apprehensive because I am not a fan of workplace romances. However, the few co-workers who knew John’s true feelings for me convinced me to go on a date with him to the movies. He was so chivalrous, charming and genuine I had to go out with him again.

Engagement Announcement: It Was Meant To Be…
It started off with a boy’s weekend in New York, Brent and his friends flew over from London decided to have dinner at Revel, the waitress was none other than his future wife. Sherita took a job as a cocktail waitress to help pay for one of mother’s lavish vacations to Monaco and on the night before she quit meet my future husband.
We had no idea what would happen as Brent was living in London at the time. Traveling back and forth to see each other was exciting and tearful when our time together was over but, as he said the night we meet, 6 months later he was a New Yorker. It was clear early on that we had found the one. We had an instant connection and through the good and bad times we have fallen deeper in love. We spent our time dating traveling as much as we could, enjoying all the city has to offer ( under 14th st), and spending quiet nights at home watching movies as we do on so many cold winter nights.
Now after 4 wonderful years together we are so happy to become husband and wife.
