Carlisle resident Emily Carpenter and Brent Wright of North Carolina are engaged to be married Oct. 25, 2014, at the Ashley-Alexander Plantation House in Scott.

Check out these beautiful engagement photos by Julie Paisley Photography and read their sweet engagement story:

Emily and Brent met in August of 2012 while Emily was coaching track and field/cross country at Bradley University and Brent had just been transferred from Caterpillar's Beijing, China office to their headquarters in Peoria, IL. Luckily, Emily had moved into the last open apartment in Brent's building. Brent got excited the moment he heard Emily and her mother talk with a southern accent, and knew he just had to meet Emily. Thanksgiving of 2013, Brent took Emily home to Elizabeth City, NC, for the first time to meet all 300 Wrights. Brent had his turn with the Carpenters at Christmas and yes, he took advantage of their prime duck hunting grounds. One month later, Brent was back in Arkansas asking Emily's dad for her hand in marriage. On January 17, 2014, on the banks of the Arkansas River, Brent surprised Emily by proposing to her. They look forward to celebrating with family and friends this October.
