Our Wedding

It was love at first swipe :) Yes, you read that right Blake and I met online. Unconventional to the traditional way of people meeting at a bar or through a mutual friend but ultimately it worked for us. We first met in August of 2019. If only we knew what would come in the following months in 2020 ;) Looking back it probably wasn't the most ideal time to start a new relationship but if anything it made us stronger and learn a lot about each other :) Here we are today almost 5 years later and we could not be more thankful for all the wonderful friends and family that are surrounding us and supporting us. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for traveling near and far to be with us to celebrate our big day. We love you all very much and hope you enjoy your time!

The Oregon District is&nbsp;Dayton's oldest Historic District. Our charming streets feature architecture dating back to the 1800s &amp; early 1900s. 5th Street houses some of the best dining and shopping experiences in Dayton. This is a fun part of town with different restaurants and bars. On the weekends 5th street is closed down to allow for people to bar hop and enjoy the area. We would highly recommend checking out this area to walk around to look at the houses or to eat at one of the many restaurants.
