Rachel: The first time I met Kolby, I was sixteen years old. He was attending college in southern California and I was visiting with family when we were introduced...it really was love at first sight. The following year, I enrolled in the same college, and within a few months we were dating! We had the privilege of graduating together with our Bachelors of Education this May.

Kolby: I proposed to Rachel on August 17, 2016.  We were enjoying a picnic at  the Charleston Tea Plantation on Wadmalaw Island when I popped the question...she said yes :)

We will be married in a small outdoor ceremony on July 14, 2017 in Orangeburg, South Carolina. In August we will be moving to China. If you would like to help us raise the necessary funds for this amazing journey to China or simply learn more about our exciting future plans head over to our fundraising page by clicking here.
