Our Wedding

It all started with a dial-up connection and a little bit of teenage fate. Back when AIM away messages were a love language, we met on AOL at just 14 years old. We were young, we were smitten, and we dated as kids before life took us in different directions. But some connections never fade. Over the next 25 years, we stayed friends—cheering each other on through life’s highs and lows, always keeping in touch. Then, when the timing was finally right, everything fell into place. What started as childhood love had grown into something even stronger, and we knew this time, it was forever. Now, after all these years, we’re finally saying “I do”—and we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
