How did you two meet?
Layton: "We met in college (Carter’s sophomore year, my junior) while sitting at a table in the SGA office. We each had a friend that convinced us to join SGA that year, and the four of us sat at a table together (and did so a few more times that semester). We saw each other in passing throughout our time at Auburn, but didn’t have too many more interactions. Five years later, Carter happened to be on the phone catching up with one of those friends from that SGA table so many years ago. He asked her if she thought I’d say yes to a date with him, and she sent him my number. A few days later he called-- we picked right back up where we’d left off and the rest is history!
I remember thinking Carter was sweet and easy to talk to-- and seemed like a big teddy bear. He was smiling every time I saw him. When he called me to ask me on a date five years later, my roommates were asking for all the details about him, and I just kept telling them, 'He’s just the kindest person in the whole world!' Turns out he’s that and a million wonderful things more."
Carter: “Sitting at the table with Layton, I thought there was no way she didn’t have a boyfriend-- she was sweet, kind, funny, talkative and smart. She had the curliest hair and cute freckles. What more could you ask for? A few years later, I decided to shoot my shot, and I’m so glad I did.”
