Our Wedding

Our story actually started long before we knew it. David's parents have been best friends with Rachel's aunt and late uncle for years, and they’ve known Rachel since she was little—his dad even played Santa at one of her family Christmases! Fast forward a couple of decades, and David's sister set us up - with the encouragement of his parents and one of Rachel's friends. Our first date was over Mexican food, and from that moment, everything just felt right. As strong Christians, our faith quickly became the heart of our relationship and a steady foundation for the future we both knew we wanted. In true “when you know, you know” fashion, it wasn’t long before we were planning forever. He proposed at Niagara Falls—sunburns, ponchos, and all—and we couldn’t have imagined a more perfectly imperfect moment to say yes. Now, we can’t wait to begin this next chapter surrounded by the people who’ve been part of our story all along. Romans 8:28 - "And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose."
