Our Wedding

Our Story 

We went to Middle and High School together only knowing of each other and passing in the halls, but never officially met. We finally met in High School as a Sophomore and a Junior November of 2013 through mutual friends. It only took two weeks of talking and on December 1, 2013, our story began. Since then we've grown as individuals and as a couple. We've been through it all together from attending homecomings, all 4 proms, getting our drivers licenses, graduating High School, 10 years of birthdays and holidays, traveling, becoming fur parents, buying a house and now engaged planning our wedding! At only 15 and 16 years old we had no idea we'd be here today, as HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS, and we are so excited to continue our journey in life together as Husband and Wife! We can't wait to see what else our future holds.

We are hoping for our ceremony to be outdoors if weather permits. If weather does not permit, we will be happily married indoors. The reception will be held indoors.

Can I take and post photos of the wedding on social media?

We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. This just means we are asking that all phones and devices to be put away and on silent during the ceremony. We have hired professionals to capture this moment in our lives and we would hate to have a phone/device blocking this moment for our professionals to capture. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos as you want!

Will there be an open bar?

Absolutely! Come ready to party with us! (But please drink responsibly).

Food Allergies/Sensitivity 

As the bride has many food allergies & sensitivities herself, it was made a point to find the perfect venue to accommodate all food allergies. The Grand was the perfect fit. There will be a waiter/waitress for each table. Please let your waiter/waitress know of any food allergies, for example: gluten, dairy, seafood, etc., and they will accommodate to your meal choice.

What are the Covid protocols? 

We are not requiring masks, negative COVID tests, or vaccinations in order to attend our wedding. We want to celebrate with whoever is comfortable with coming! If a mask makes you feel more comfortable attending, you are more than welcome to wear one but if not, no masks no problem!

Please kindly respond by March 29, 2024.
