Our Wedding

A magical bond is formed in cyberspace, where connections are forged through digital pulses and heartfelt emojis. Anny, an artistic soul with a passion for crafting, and Cory, a lover of photography and vintage typewriters, discovered each other in the vast expanse of the internet during the year 2016. Their first real-world encounter occurred amidst the bustling cityscape of New York City. Anny and Cory chose the cozy ambiance of Tom's Diner as the backdrop for their inaugural face-to-face meeting. Amidst the clinking of cutlery and the hum of city life, sparks flew, and their chemistry was undeniable. Over the passing years, Anny and Cory cultivated their relationship, honoring and celebrating the unique passions that brought them together. Their journey was marked by shared adventures, creative collaborations, and countless tender moments that wove the tapestry of their love. In the warm midday sun of October 2, 2022, during a memorable anniversary trip to the mystical landscapes of Scotland, Cory found the perfect setting to etch a new chapter into their love story. At Doune Castle, surrounded by ancient stones steeped in history and bathed in sunlight, with excitement and love in his eyes, he asked Anny to join him in a lifetime of love and companionship. They were overwhelmed with joy and love; Anny said, "Yes! Sealing their fate in the splendor of a Scottish midday. And so, their once-upon-a-time blossomed into an everlasting love story, filled with shared dreams, artistic endeavors, and a promise of forever. Join Anny and Cory as they prepare to take their vows and embark on the next magical chapter of their love story, surrounded by the love and well-wishes of family and friends.
