Our Wedding

It all started when we were just teenagers in high school—so cliché, right? He was the rebellious bad boy, and I was the nice girl who believed in love at first sight. Our paths crossed, and it seemed like the beginning of something special... until he broke my heart when I was just 14. But life, as it often does, had other plans. Fast forward to the end of 2012, and fate brought us back together. We were older, wiser, and ready to give our love another shot. And this time, there was no turning back. From that moment on, we never broke up. The highs, the lows, and everything in between, we faced it together.Even though life took us 6 hours apart for college, we never once had eyes for anyone else. Our bond only grew stronger as we learned to navigate life as individuals, but always with the other in mind. Distance couldn’t break us—it only proved how much we meant to each other. One of the things we love most about our relationship is how deeply we’ve come to care for each other’s families. It’s such a special part of our story that only strengthens the foundation of our love. Now, we’re settling into a new chapter as a family of three in Bradley Beach. Our son is the greatest gift we could ever ask for, and watching him grow fills our hearts with joy. We’re excited to build a life in this cozy little town, and every day feels like a new adventure. Our little family is everything, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds as we continue this incredible journey together.
