The stars aligned when Wade
and I met. I was a senior at
VSU and Wade had recently
moved back to Valdosta. We
met on a Saturday night while
celebrating friends’ birthdays.
Nikki and Ryan Johnson, mutual
friends, played matchmaker. We
instantly hit it off and went on
a date four days later. Wade was
nervous there may be awkward
silence. Little did he know, I
would chat his ear off until the
restaurant closed! It was the
perfect first date! Wade’s charm
and sense of humor influenced
me to stick around my college
town and make it our forever
home. After three and a half fun
years of dating, Wade proposed
in Savannah with my family
there to celebrate. Steel’s Jewelry
helped Wade reset a beautiful
diamond that once belonged
to his grandmother. We had a
Christmas 2015 wedding and are
looking forward to celebrating
one year of marriage!

Mr. and Mrs. Wade Henry
