Erin Burns Freeman ’02 communications
Lee A. Freeman ’02 communications
Knoxville
Lee and I always had classes together as I was a PR major and he majored in Advertising. I always thought Lee was so cute and he'd sit directly behind me in every class we had together. But, it wasn't until our senior year that he finally made his move and asked me out one night when we were hanging out at campus favorite "Cool Beans." We got engaged in World's Fair Park in March 2005 and were married the following September (on an off weekend for UT football, of course)! Since we've been married, we've only missed a small handful of UT football and UT men's basketball games. Attending those is one of our favorite things to do together.
Engaged: We got engaged relatively close to campus in World's Fair Park
Married: 3 years
