Our Wedding

In true millennial fashion, our great love story started on a dating app back in 2020. Danny and I had our first date in early January, right before the world shut down. While newly dating during a pandemic sounds challenging, it made us get creative with our dates and those are still some of our favorite memories together. Since then, we've spent the last five years growing, laughing, and fiercely in love. Together we love to take trips, visit dive bars, and obsess over our perfect puppy, Zoey. Our love is a reminder of God's timing, faithfulness and the joy that comes when you find your teammate for life. We can't wait to celebrate with you all in September!
