Our Wedding

Our story begins in law school, where a simple team assignment turned into the greatest partnership of our lives. We first met as members of the mock trial team at the Catholic University of America, paired together by our coaches. At the time, we thought we were just being matched to argue cases—but looking back, it's clear we were meant to be so much more. What started as a collaboration quickly grew into something special. Between long hours preparing arguments and celebrating victories, we discovered how much we had in common. We shared the same drive, the same humor, and, most importantly, the same vision for the future. Before we knew it, we weren't just partners on the team—we were inseparable in life. Now, as we stand on the brink of a new chapter together, we couldn't be more excited to share this moment with all of you. Our wedding is more than a celebration of where we've been; it's a toast to the future we're building together. From that first assignment in law school to the life we're creating now, we've been partners every step of the way — and we wouldn't have it any other way. We can't wait to celebrate our love story with you!

Things to Do in Washington, D.C. This Fall Autumn is one of the most beautiful times to visit Washington, D.C.—crisp weather, colorful foliage, and a cozy atmosphere that makes exploring the city even more enjoyable. If you have time between wedding festivities, here are some highlights to help you make the most of your stay: Iconic Landmarks with Fall Charm The National Mall is especially striking in the fall, with tree-lined paths glowing in shades of red, orange, and gold. Take a walk from the Lincoln Memorial to the U.S. Capitol, stopping by the Washington Monument, MLK Jr. Memorial, and World War II Memorial along the way. Smithsonian Museums (Free &amp; Indoors!)
