Brooks and I met at a bar one Sunday—he was actually there to meet someone else. But the moment I saw him, I thought he was the most beautiful man I'd ever seen. He ended up coming over to talk to me instead. We clicked instantly, and he asked me to dinner the next night. To test his interest, I showed up over an hour late—he waited. Eleven years and two daughters later, we’re still going strong.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our wedding day. Due to a limited budget, we built our own venue on my parents' waterfront property in Charleston, SC. I had a vision & Brooks brought it to life. Despite a forecasted storm just days before, we were set on an outdoor ceremony after all our hard work. We rushed to get clear umbrellas and rain boots—and got married in a tropical storm! In the end, the rain only made it more magical, and we ended up with some of the most stunning wedding photos as a result.
What would you do with $20,000?Honestly, I would divide it up to help make multiple goals a reality. Part would go toward paying off our shared debt, some into our daughters’ future college funds, a portion into savings, and a heartfelt amount would be donated to a cause that’s been close to my heart since becoming a parent—St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
