With graduation less than a month away, many seniors have friends that are busy planning their weddings. Many of these couples met their soul mates while attending classes at Auburn University.

Auburn has many places that are known for people meeting their future spouses. These places include, Haley Center Classrooms, fraternity or soriety socials or parties, SkyBar and other downtown bars, Jordan-Hare Stadium, and many more.

Cassie Caraway, a senior at Auburn University, said she met her fiancé while on Spring Break freshman year

"We met through mutual friends and we have been dating ever since,” she said. 

Caraway said that when she returned to Auburn after spring break, her fiance, Cameron Colbert, asked her on their first date. On that date the two went to Mellow Mushroom downtown.

“Auburn was a great place for us to start dating," Caraway said. "I was in a sorority and I started to ask him to all my date parties."

Colbert asked Caraway to marry him this past summer. They will be married this summer at Opelika First Baptist.  They are very excited for all of their Auburn friends to attend the wedding.

“I’m very excited for our wedding, and I also know a lot of other people that are getting engaged and starting to plan their weddings too,” Caraway said.

Another Auburn couple that is looking forward to their big day is Dean Moncrief and Erica Strother. The two met their freshman year at Auburn, and now three years later they are engaged to be married on Oct. 1st.

Moncrief said he instantly had a crush on Strother.

"I thought she had such a pretty smile," he said. "Everyone always told me that I would meet my wife while attending school at Auburn, but I never believed them until it happened. I have a lot of friends who are engaged or about to get engaged too. I think its something about going to school here.”

There are many different couples all over campus. Some say their mutual love for Auburn may have been the spark in the relationship, but now they are preparing to graduate from Auburn and start their new lives together. As Moncrief said, “We will never forget that it all started at Auburn.”
