Our Story
How We Met
Many of you are familiar with how Blaine and I met at work, but our true adventure began when I, Kimberly, moved to South Carolina—eight and a half hours from my hometown in Mississippi—and needed help with moving in. I ordered some furniture from Amazon, thinking it’d be easy to assemble, but after two weeks of struggling with 1,000 pieces and no tools, I finally asked Blaine for help. Little did I know, he would be the one to always be there for me, love me, and be my person forever. From that moment on, we became inseparable, shared endless laughs, and I found not just a partner, but my best friend. And the rest, as they say, is history!
The Proposal
As for the proposal, I, Blaine, planned what I hoped would be the perfect proposal, but I knew it wouldn’t be easy to surprise Kimberly. With help from our families, I managed to pull it off. Two Christmases ago, we started a tradition of getting a real Christmas tree, something neither of our families did growing up, and it became one of those special moments we looked forward to creating together.
Fast forward to December 2024, and we were excited to get our tree. Of course, Kimberly did what she does best—change outfits five times, bake a breakfast casserole that took 40 minutes, and make sure we weren’t on time (no surprise there, haha).
At the tree farm, I guided Kimberly to the tree I had chosen, with ornaments that read, "Will you marry me?" After she said yes, we both turned around to hear loud screams from the top of the mountain—it was her mom, nanny, and my mom and nana, cheering in the distance. Kimberly had no idea they were in town! It was a perfect day.
Chimney Pond Farm will always be special to us, and we can’t wait to continue our love story there!
