How and when 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 class room betting his friends that 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!"
What are some things you two enjoy 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 to try new places. Even if we are cooking, we just love 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!"
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!"
Sellers-- what's one of the things you admire most about Cassidy?
Sellers: "One of the things I admire most about Cassidy is her charisma. Cassidy has a contagious personality that makes everyone feel loved and cared for. She has the ability to bring a sense of comfort over just about anyone-- even people she hardly knows. She makes the good days great and the bad days bearable. With this loving personality, there is no doubt she’ll be an exceptional mother."
Cassidy--what's one of the things you admire most about Sellers?
Cassidy: "One of the aspects I admire most about Sellers is his consistent selflessness. He will drop everything he’s doing to do even the most simple request that I ask-- or will always lend a helping hand to others who need it. Just this week he has helped me change light fixtures, paint rooms, hang closet shelving and put furniture together all after a 12-hour workday-- and always without a single complaint! Constantly surrounding myself with his attitude humbles me and really does make me a better person."
What was each yall's favorite part of the wedding day?
Sellers: "My favorite part of our wedding day was having all the people we love and care about in the same place to celebrate our marriage. It was just an unbelievable amount of love and support for both Cassidy and I. What people say is true-- it really is the greatest day of your life."
Cassidy: "My favorite part of our wedding day was our private boat we took after our reception leave. One of the boaters at the Ridge Marina drove us around on the most beautiful night while we looked at the stars and had the night to process our ceremony and reception. We were overwhelmed with emotion and really just appreciated being able to have time on the water and under the stars to look back on the best day of our lives."
What's next for you two?
Cassidy: "Sellers and I, after a year apart, have officially moved in together in our new city Louisville, KY. Sellers matched here for General Surgery Residency in March 2020, and I followed. Having graduated from UAB School of Dentistry June 5th, 2021, I will begin working in a private practice setting as a General Dentist here. We will be in Louisville for at least four years and open to see where the Lord guides us next."
