We’ve known of each other practically our whole lives. Growing up in the same community and going to the same church, our paths crossed often—but we never really talked much. Little did we know, the kid sitting a few pews over would one day be the person we’d spend forever with.

Fast forward to high school—somewhere between homework, football games, and teenage awkwardness—we finally noticed each other in a new way. That “hi” turned into conversations, conversations turned into a crush, and pretty soon, we found ourselves on our very first date… to the movies. (Chauffeured by his mom, of course. Thanks, Mom!)

Now, after years of growing up together, falling in love, and making a lifetime of memories, we can’t wait to say “I do” in front of all our favorite people.
