Our Wedding

[Welcome: Friends and family, Bailey and I are elated to have you join us for a celebration of our love in the eclectic city of Philadelphia! We hope you enjoy the company, music, and overall energy of a city that Bailey and I and have built our love in.] Our story starts at school- which resonates because of how deeply we believe in what we do. There was a slim chance that Bailey and I would end up teaching in the same classroom. But life has a funny way of working itself out. In 2018, I taught first block in Bailey's room. Each morning, I would enter and set up my powerpoint for the day, and make small talk with her. It was short. But we connected. Over the months we would talk more, and at staff happy hours we always seemed to find ourselves engrossed in conversation. I always found her beautiful, but we're professionals so I kept that discreet. Either way, by the end of the 2018-2019 school year we had officially started dating. And once summer hit, we roadtripped to the south, satisfying our desire to explore and see new places. But now we were traveling together, and our trip was nothing but laughs, jokes, and intimate conversation. We were falling deeply in love. We became inseparable, and over three years later I'd say that things haven't changed too much. COVID brought us closer and started another chapter. We began swapping off staying at each other's apartment, always one of us living out of a duffel bag. This is when we began playing cards. And this is when we blossomed into best friends. It was at this time that we moved in together, and it was as seamless as could be. We adored our new apartment in Center City, and we just loved being together. There was always fun; there was always joy. Life in center city didn't last long, though. After six months we found a house in South Philly that stole our heart and at the tail-end of 2020 we became homeowners. This was a whole other adventure, and one that we were grateful to take together. For those that know Bailey well, she's all about the home decor. And so we put our style on the space and welcomed in our furry friend: Remi. Becoming dog parents taught Bailey and I more about each other. I am a bit overbearing at dog parks, and Bailey feeds her from the kitchen. And again, this experience brought us closer and strengthened our ever-growing bond. So here we are: excited and eager to take the next step and with each of you at our celebration!
