Sellers + Cassidy {engagement :: Lake Martin}

How did you two meet?

Cassidy: "We originally met at a bar in Birmingham in September of 2017. A mutual friend introduced us thinking we would hit it off. The following day, Sellers asked me on a date. At the time, I was caught up with my first year of dental school and wanted to focus on myself. I actually said no to the date. A few months later, Sellers was sitting in his classroom betting his friends if he ever saw me again that he would ask me on a date. That same day, I was headed to class, and we passed each other in Volker Hall, a building shared by medical, dental and other healthcare professional students. We began to catch up, and the conversation ended with him asking me on a date!"

How and when did Sellers propose?

Cassidy: "Sellers proposed on July 20, 2019. We were having a typical summer weekend at our vacation spot: Lake Martin, AL. Sellers had taken Part 2 of boards that week, so we planned to go to our favorite restaurant, Spring House, to celebrate. Our reservations were early at 5:30 p.m. He said that everything was booked up and that was the only time he could get. We arrived at the restaurant and the hostess explained that the kitchen was backed up. He said he would take us on a tour of the basement, which I had always wanted to see! The hostess was telling us about all the wines and eventually led us out onto the beautiful terrace in front of Spring House where he proposed!! We then enjoyed champagne on the terrace. After, we had a full meal by ourselves. Sellers explained that my friends and family had no idea. He said that he just wanted this to be about us, and we could celebrate with friends and family later. We always go on the balcony to watch the sunset, so after we ate, we headed upstairs. At the top of the stairs were allllllllll of our friends and family for the best surprise ever!!! We laughed, talked and cried-- and it was seriously the best night of our lives!"

What are some things you like doing together?

Cassidy: "One of the main things we like to do is enjoy good food together. We love to have long dinners, good wine and try new places. Even if we are cooking, we just loved to have personal time over dinner and drinks! We also love to spend all of our summertime at Lake Martin. My grandmother lives there, and Sellers’s family also has a house there. We have a ton of friends that have houses there, and it’s just always the best time with friends and family! In the fall/winter, we always take trips to Sellers’s hunting camp. We love just being outdoors with no cell service and fishing together, just soaking in nature’s beauty!"
