UGA Engagement Pictures | Rachel + Scott | Athens

There comes a time in all of our lives when we have to suck it up and admit it.

Our parents were right.  Sometimes it takes us years to say the words, but eventually we’ll all get there.

Rachel and Scott just got there a little quicker than most of us do.

See, Scott’s parents lived next door to Rachel’s aunt and uncle and they’d often remark that the two would make such a great pair, and they really should meet.

Rachel and Scott ignored the matchmaker talk and went about their normal lives.

Then, one Christmas Eve, Rachel’s aunt was having a big party and they ended up both being there.

With the words of their family swirling around in their heads, they each gulped down a bit of liquid courage and introduced themselves.

They went on their first date a week later, and have been together ever since.

Let’s all say it together…mom, you were right.

Rachel and Scott, I had a great time with you in Athens!  Dinner was delicious, and being in a great college town always makes me happy.  I can’t wait to join you guys in St. Simons in just a couple of months for the big day!

XOXO,

B
