Our Wedding

James and I met in August 2023 for our first date at Ohiopyle, PA. We previously were talking through a dating app a month before. James and I became official November 20th after attending a Penguins hockey game with my dad and my sister. From there we’ve shared Thanksgivings, Christmases, Birthdays, hiking trips, fishing trips, other holidays, scenic railroads, and many more adventures together. On February 8th, 2025, James asked the question and of course I said yes! In April 2025, we officially became homeowners and bought a house in Philippi, WV. Now we can’t wait to see what else life has in store for us there with our new dog Pepper.
