Our Wedding

We both went to Auburn University, but being two years apart means we did not meet there. We had mutual friends, and we are convinced we must have stood back-to-back without ever being introduced to one another. We both started medical school the same year at UAB, and in our second semester of first year, we met at a class social function! Four days after meeting, we happened to run into each other in Atlanta while he was visiting highschool friends and she was visiting college friends who live there. Savannah took the group Walker High School photo, and Kevin made the effort to meet up with her and her friends later that day. Fast forward three months and many study sessions at Greenwise later, Kevin asked Savannah on their first date – a concert to see The Brook and The Bluff.

How We Met

We dated for three years and made many memories! We went to friend's and family's weddings, Auburn games, many live music scenes, and on lake and ski trips. We decided to apply for residency through the couples-match and luckily ended up together at UAB for the next few years!

Sweet Times Between

I had planned on taking Savannah out in Birmingham to celebrate her birthday. I picked her up an hour before dinner to "get drinks", but instead I took her to a spot that overlooks the city where we often drive to see the sunsets. Waiting for the ideal moment, I dropped to one knee and asked her to marry me! I had a photographer there to capture the moment. We celebrated by calling our families, and then the two of us had dinner and bubbly at our first dinner-date spot – Vino.

Travel

We have loved exploring Birmingham together for the past 5 years, and these are a few of our favorite things to do and places to go!

Saturday morning favorite with fresh produce, pastries, coffee, and breakfast burritos.

The Farmers Market at Pepper Place | Outdoors

A delicious small-batch bakery that can sell out quickly on the weekends. Their Instagram features their daily/weekly menu and is worth the early morning rise for a fresh pastry! June Coffee is located next door and is a favorite among Birmingham coffee-lovers.

Last Call Baking Company

The Essential

A BBQ joint, but we love their breakfasts.

Demetri's

Usually a wait time, but worth it.

Big Bad Breakfast

Frequent visitors for their bagel sandwiches.

Crestline Bagel Company

Casual sandwich spot that we walk to on beautiful days to eat outside.

The Garage

A go-to spot for dinner with friends.

SoHo Social

A favorite brewery for us and our friends.

Back Forty Beer Company Birmingham

Live music spot or a place to watch football on Saturday's with food trucks and big outdoor area.

Avondale Brewing Company

We love to walk and run the trail.

Jemison Trail

A nice place to stroll, and it is where we took engagement pictures!

Birmingham Botanical Gardens

Nice place to see the view over Downtown Birmingham.

Vulcan Park and Museum

A great place to walk around, eat a good meal, enjoy boutiques for shopping, and grab a sweet treat.
