Annistin and Jace’s story began with a simple message that soon turned into something neither of them expected. After spending time getting to know each other, they decided to take a chance on a first date. Jace arrived with a single pink rose, which Annistin still has today. They spent the evening walking along Ocean Springs Beach, talking, laughing, and quickly realizing how natural it felt to be together.

At the time, they lived in different states, but Jace never let the distance stand in their way. He made the drive several times each week just so they could spend time together before eventually moving closer. From the beginning, their relationship has been filled with intention, commitment, and a shared faith in God. Through every season, He has remained at the center of their relationship, guiding their steps and strengthening their love for one another.

As their relationship grew, they discovered a shared love for traveling and exploring God’s creation. Some of their favorite memories have been made while hiking, visiting new places, and watching the sunset by the water. No matter where their adventures take them, their favorite place is always wherever they are together.

Their most memorable adventure took them to a beautiful waterfall in Tennessee. Jace was convinced they needed to hike up the mountain to reach the bottom of the waterfall, while Annistin was fairly certain the correct direction was down. After what felt like miles, they finally turned around and found their way to the bottom. When they arrived, they had the entire waterfall to themselves. Surrounded by the beauty of the moment, Jace got down on one knee and asked Annistin to marry him. Through happy tears, she said yes. They celebrated with their families over FaceTime before ending the perfect day with pizza in downtown Chattanooga.

Now, Annistin and Jace are excited to begin their greatest adventure yet. They look forward to building a home, creating a beautiful life together, and growing a marriage rooted in Christ. They cannot wait for a lifetime filled with love, laughter, faith, and many more adventures. They are incredibly grateful to celebrate the beginning of this new chapter with the people they love most.
