Have you ever met a couple that you just felt like you instantly knew? That’s how it was with Ashleigh and Ryan. Walking towards the Opera House, I heard my name called across the road and I was met with a warm hug from Ashleigh… we had never met before this moment! A few months back, Ashleigh had emailed me saying “Not to be creepy but I saw that you’re going to be in Sydney, we are too! We’d love some engagement photos!” I was so thrilled!

I met Jessie in college. We actually both swam for rival teams. I swam for Duke and she swam for NC State. Although we competed against each other, our teams shared a mutual hate for UNC. Over the course of our 4 years in college, it turned out that we were pretty similar with the exception of which strokes we swam! We had the same friends and would consistently find each other at He’s Not Here by the karaoke machine.
