Our Wedding

Ben and I met through a mutual friend! I was pretty new to Nashville, had recently started my job and was trying to make friends. I invited my coworker to hang out on a Sunday, and she and her friends were headed out after the Titan's game. My roommates and I joined them. Ben was sitting down the opposite side of the table - and I don't think we said two words to each other, but he caught my eye with that smile! A couple of weeks of now - our- friend Emma badgering me about how great he was, and I decided to DM him. A modern romance. We had our first date the next week at Mafiaoza's (Rest in Peace), and the rest is history! We still live in Nashville, with our dog Mona (Lisa) who we adore. We love traveling, hiking, and camping, but also love just exploring the neighborhoods in Nashville, checking out a new brewery, pizza place, or bar. We love this city so much, and can't wait to celebrate with our friends and family here!

Q + A

This hotel is one of my favorites in Nashville, and also happens to be down the street from our reception spot, Love and Exile! They have an amazing cafe in the lobby, and a beautiful bar on the roof with Nashville skyline views.

One of our favorite spots in Nashville. Great beer- lots of lighter options and IPAs- and the best wood fired pizza. Seriously, every single pizza is amazing.
