Life has a funny way of surprising you.

Sometimes the best things happen when you least expect them.

Luke and Alisha met by happenstance in November 2023, and what started as a chance encounter quickly grew into something special. Through laughter, adventures, and building a life together, they discovered they had found their perfect match.

We found our favorite person in each other, a love that brings peace, joy, and a quiet reminder to slow down and savor every moment. We're grateful for the life we've built, the family we've blended, and the memories we've already created together.

In June 2026, during a beautiful trip to Antigua, Luke proposed to Alisha with the ocean as their backdrop. When she realized he wasn't joking, she emphatically said "Yes!"

Now, we're excited to begin our next chapter together on October 17, 2026, in Carthage, Missouri.

Thank you for being here to celebrate with us. We are so grateful for the love, support, and friendship that have brought us to this moment, and we can't wait to share our special day with you. ❤️
