Our Story

Every love story has a beginning, and ours started in the most unexpected of places—working side by side, detailing boats. What began as simple days at Recovery Church quickly turned into something much more. Between the laughter, shared glances, and quiet moments, we felt a spark that neither of us could ignore. We started dating, but as life often teaches us, love is not always a straight path. We took time apart to grow as individuals, to heal, and to become the very best versions of ourselves.

Looking back now, it feels as though destiny knew exactly what it was doing. When our paths crossed again, it was different—stronger, deeper, and more certain than ever before. The love we had found once was still there, only this time it had blossomed into something unshakable. From that moment forward, we became inseparable.

Together, we built a home filled with love, laughter, and the sweetest chaos thanks to our two little fur babies, Felix and Tula, and our lizard Giuseppe. Our kitties quickly became part of our family, making our love story even richer and our home even warmer.

Then, on Easter morning of this year, as the first rays of sunlight kissed the horizon, our lives changed forever. On a quiet beach, with the sound of the waves and the beauty of a rising sun, we got engaged. It was simple, magical, and everything we had ever dreamed of.

Now, as we look forward to April 27, 2026, our hearts are overflowing with excitement. We cannot wait to celebrate this next chapter of our love story surrounded by family and friends, as we promise forever to each other. What started by chance, guided by destiny, has grown into a love we know will last a lifetime.
