Drew
I met Hillery in a painting class at UCF when I was moving my easel back and accidentally bumped hers (she said we technically met in Printmaking). I didn’t ruin her painting, fortunately, but we did lock eyes for a moment. From pretty much that moment on, we’ve been inseperable, sharing more grand adventures and late nights on the phone than either of us can remember. I couldn’t imagine a better partner in conversation, creativity, and mutual growth. I can’t wait until February, and I’m excited for all the people that love us who are going to take part in it.

In 2010, Drew and I signed up for three of the same art classes one semester. It was only a matter of time before we were taking mini road trips together to places like Okeechobee and the Ocala National Forest—we would spend long hours in deep conversation while missing turns until we were lost. Since then, we've been everywhere from the Blue Ridge Mountains to Portland together, and have lived in Orlando, New York and Big Sur. He takes care of me better than anyone could, encourages me endlessly, and is up for any adventure I have in mind. I couldn't be happier to marry Drew with our family and friends there to celebrate.
