Our Wedding

Ciara and Weston met in late 2016 on Tinder. After a few months of casual dates, Weston finally asked her to be "FBO" (Facebook official) and they've been together ever since. Despite the ups and downs of the last 6 years, Ciara and Weston have continued to build their relationship. With new jobs, moving across the country, 3 beautiful pets, and a new home, Ciara and Weston are just beginning their life's journey together, and on solid ground. Ciara and Weston welcome you to celebrate them as they officially tie the knot this May.
