Our Wedding

Welcome to our story! We’re Carter and Kendall, and our journey together began in Whitewater, where mutual friends introduced us. From that moment on, we quickly became the most special people in each other’s lives. Our connection was undeniable, and with each passing day, our love has only grown stronger. What started in the small town of Whitewater took us on an unforgettable journey throughout college. From there, we moved to Madison, where we continued to grow together, navigating graduate school, and the ups and downs that life threw our way. Our adventures didn't stop there—we later packed our bags and headed across the country to Florida, chasing new opportunities and dreams, while always remaining each other's biggest supporters. Through it all—across states, degrees, careers, and countless milestones—our bond has only deepened. We’ve shared laughter, challenges, and a love that only grows stronger with time. And now, we’re thrilled to take the next step in this beautiful journey together. Thank you for being a part of our story!
