Our journey together started almost nine years ago when fate brought us together on Bumble. It didn’t take long to realize we were meant to be. From our very first conversation, we knew there was something special between us (after realizing Cassie didn't live in Gurnee and there was an actual chance to make this work). After countless movie nights, dates, laughter, and adventures, we knew we were building something truly incredible.

Four years ago, Clayton bought a house, and since then, we've been hard at work renovating and making it our own. Every project, big and small, has been a part of creating a space that truly feels like home, and it’s been an amazing experience doing it together.

Two and a half years ago, our little family grew even more when we welcomed our beloved dog PJ into our lives. He’s brought even more joy, laughter, and love into our world, making our home feel even more complete and chaotic.

Now, after nine amazing years together, we are so excited to take this next step in our journey and celebrate our love with all of you. We can’t wait to share this special day and continue building a beautiful future together.
