Our Wedding

OUR STORY ❤️

November is traditionally a cold month.. November of 2016 was anything but cold. Two souls brought together with the help of modern day cupid, a little yellow app called bumble. The story begins with a "match", just like a fire this match started strong and fierce with 1 date. 1 drink. 1 meal. Two people clicking so well they didn't want the night to end. 8:00pm became 9:00pm, 9:00pm became 11:00pm, how did the time pass so quickly? How did they not get up and order another drink, not even switch to a different place? Easy... it just clicked. The match and the fire was started. The "Epic Date Weekend" of 2016 continued the next day with an impromptu hang out to get out of the mundane day, then the following day a last minute movie. The story really continues from there.. snowshoeing, road trips, smiles, and tickles the fun hasn't slowed since the initial spark. Neither has the fire. The fire has grown and grown over the years. Adventure after adventure. The fire has grown stronger and stronger.
