Knowing the two of us, it should make perfect sense that the first place we actually met was at the gym. However, for anyone who knows the bride well, it shouldn't come as a big surprise that I never gave him the time of day there since the only thing he said to me that day was how tall are you, during leg day of all days. Low and behold, the conversation did not continue from there.

Fast forward a few weeks, in true millennial fashion, we ended up matching on Bumble. Somehow, even after reminding me of our first encounter, he was able to charm me into a first date. We met at Texas De Brazil and after two hours of talking, the server had to remind us that we had to get up and get plates and food at the salad bar if we wanted to eat. We closed the restaurant down and continued to talk for three more hours in the parking lot (on a school night at that).

The rest was obviously history. Our relationship

hasn't been the most conventional, and we have definitely had to endure A LOT in such a short amount of time. But I think we'd both say that we wouldn't change a thing. I've been so lucky to gain Abel in my life with Austin and Lincoln has been the most perfect addition to our family.

The boys, Austin, and I are so blessed to have the life we do and we are so grateful to have all our friends and family join us during our celebration of our love and life together.
