Drew + Candice [engagement] Birmingham, Ala.

How did you two meet?
Candice: "Drew slid into my Instagram messages while I was in Iceland to comment on how beautiful the Aurora Borealis was in my picture. I knew this was his charming way of finally 'breaking the ice' after months of patiently waiting for him to reach out after mutual friends expressed to each of us that we might make a good pair. Two weeks later, I found an excuse to be in Birmingham, and Drew asked me on our first date to Parkside for casual drinks. I enjoyed his sense of humor and southern gentleman qualities."

Drew: "I was impressed with how pretty and social she was, and how we were able to talk for hours without noticing."

How and when did Drew propose?
Drew: "After a nice date night in downtown Birmingham, we took a slow stroll back to the car as I built up the courage to ask at the spot I had planned. Upon arriving, a car was attempting to parallel park poorly and threw off the moment. Candice jumped in the car after a failed stall attempt, but I was determined. I motioned to her that my tire had been sliced, and she jumped out right away extremely concerned. I grabbed her by the hand and the rest is history!"

Candice: "It was a sweet, intimate moment under the city lights!"

What are some things you two enjoy doing together?
Candice: "We both love going on walks with our dog, Lady, attending concerts, and spending time at the lake."
