Travel

From our first date at the North Carolina Museum of Natural History, to the many more that soon followed, we quickly fell in love with each other. We share a love of adventure, and strive to experience new things together every day. Whether it is a tasty new dish or a winding, new trailhead, we've had so much fun growing together. It all started right here, in the heart of Raleigh, and quickly led us to other destinations like New York City-- where we became engaged at the Metropolitan Museum of Art! We now invite you to join us in celebrating our love back where it all started in Raleigh.
