Our Wedding

Our story begins when we met in 2018 during our freshman year of high school. We quickly became friends, but it was not until March 13, 2020 that we officially started dating! And yes, this is the nationally recognized date of the start of COVID-19. Our relationship began during a worldwide pandemic, but that didn't stop us from going on drive thru dates, facetiming every day, and watching tv shows and movies together over the phone. Fast forward to May 2021, and we had the privilege of graduating high school together, officially making us high school sweethearts. During the next four years, our relationship grew even stronger reaching milestones of 2, 3, 4, and 5 years together. During this time we did so much together, making up for lost time from the pandemic. We went to Universal and Disney, went on 2 cruises, made anniversary trips, went to concerts, and - of course - went on good old fashion dinner dates. On December 13, 2022 we welcomed our fur baby, Saint, into our lives. He is truly the best addition to our family. We watched each other achieve milestones such as turning 21 and graduating college. We also moved in together to our first apartment. If we could describe our relationship to anyone, we would say we are each others best friends. We laugh together, cry together, and every emotion in between. In a nutshell, we love doing life together, and can't wait to take the next step as we begin our married lives. Here's to forever!

Hi! My name is Ashley, and I am the bride's Maid of Honor. I first met the bride freshman year of college, when we lived together in our sorority house. We only lived together for one semester, but it was enough to fuel a wonderful friendship these past 4 years with a lifetime to go! I’m so grateful to have met Laura when I did, and to have gotten to watch her and Dylan’s relationship grow into something so special! 

Ashley

Hi! My name is Adelyn and I’m one of Laura’s bridesmaids. I first met Laura when I joined our sorority, Kappa, and she became my big sis! From the very beginning, she made me feel so welcome and cared for and being around her always feels like home.

I met Dylan through Laura and, fun twist, we ended up attending the same nursing school. Dylan has always been so kind and quickly became like the big brother I never had. 

I’ve had the chance to know both of them for the past three years, and in that time, I’ve gotten to see their relationship grow into something so special. It’s been such a gift having Laura and Dylan in my life, and even more of a gift watching them build a life together. I feel so lucky to be standing by Laura’s side and celebrating two of my favorite people! 

Adelyn

Hi! My name is Neffie, and I am so lucky to be one of Laura’s bridesmaids. I’m forever grateful our sorority, Kappa, brought us together because I could not imagine my life without Laura in it. Ever since I met her, she has made Kappa, UCF, and Florida feel like home, filling the past 4 years with laughter, trips to Disney, and memories I’ll cherish forever. She has been there during my most difficult times and believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. Even though we may be far apart now, our friendship will never fade. I know that Laura is only a call away, ready with her kindness, love, and support—and she knows I’ll always be her biggest cheerleader no matter the distance. Watching her and Dylan’s love story unfold has been such a joy, and I know their bond will only continue to grow stronger. Laura is truly one of the brightest lights in my life, and I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate as she and Dylan step into this beautiful new chapter together!

Neffie

Hi my name is Emma and I am one of Laura’s bridesmaids and also Dylan’s little sister.   I currently have my private pilots license and am working on becoming a pilot for Delta airlines. I am very lucky to have such a supportive brother and soon to be sister! I can’t wait to celebrate them! 

Emma

Hi my name is Colton, and I have known Dylan since we were kids. We grew up on the same street in the small town of Oviedo Florida. 
Through many crazy adventures as kids, teens, and young adults, we’ve had fun, learned lessons, and maybe got into a little trouble along the way. Playing football and basketball are my hobbies and I’m  working my way through college at UCF. I’m excited to be a part of this wedding and I wish Dylan and Laura all the love and happiness in the world. 

Colton

Hi my name is Andrew and I am one of the best men. I am also Dylan’s younger brother. I am currently a senior at Oviedo Highschool and spend most of my time working on cars. I miss having my brother at home but am happy for him that he has found Laura. She definitely fits in well with the family and I’m excited to gain another sister, especially since they let me come bother them at their apartment!!!!

Andrew

Hi, my name is Corey. Dylan and I first connected on Day 1 of nursing school orientation, and he’s been one of the most genuine friends I could’ve asked for since. I’ve spent more hours than I can count laughing with Dylan, usually at his expense, though he usually finds a way to get me back. When we’re not gaming together for 12 hours straight, we’re usually catching up and swapping stories about our clinical adventures. It’s been amazing to see how happy Laura makes him, and I couldn’t be more honored to stand by their side on their wedding day.

Corey

Hi, my name is Jason. I’m a born and raised Floridian and I’ve known Dylan and Laura going on 3 years now. I’m an avid movie goer to the point of it being an addiction, and I beat Dylan in bowling every time we play. I’ll talk anyone’s ear off if they let me and I’ll cook the best steak you’ve ever had. Dylan has always spoke so highly of Laura, and seeing their love culminate in a beautiful marriage has been truly inspiring. 

Jason

Hi! I’m Ellie, the daughter of Laura’s cousin, Chelsea. I am 5 years old with a silly and fierce spirit, and the biggest heart! I love unicorns, anything in the color yellow, reading, math, Bluey, Legos, and catching dragonflies and butterflies. I love being Laura’s little cousin. She is so kind and playful. I am so excited to be a flower girl in Laura & Dylan’s wedding, just like my mom was in Laura’s parent’s wedding, and Laura was in my parent’s wedding! 

Ellie

Hi! I'm Johanna, and I'm the daughter of Laura's cousin, Shane. I'm 5 years old but will be 6 soon! I love horses, especially my horse, Trinket, and I have goats at home that I take care of. My favorite color is pink, and I love unicorns and sending letters to my friends and family. My mom and I love reading "Misty of Chincoteague" together. I also love Jesus and try to be brave and kind just like He is. I am so excited to be a flower girl in Laura and Dylan’s wedding!

Johanna

Hi! My name is Bentley Finn. I am Dylan & Laura's ring bearer. I am almost 7 years old and am in 1st grade at Windermere Elementary School. I've known Dylan my whole life because he is my oldest cousin. I love being in the water the most - swimming and jumping in the pool; being on the boat and tubing on the lake or playing in the surf at the beach! I also enjoy playing soccer and my Playstation 5. I am very friendly, kind, funny, and smart beyond my 7 years. I also love my family more than anything. I am so excited and honored to be a part of Dylan and Laura's wedding and am very excited to have Laura as a new cousin!

Bentley

Hi! My name is Saint, and I am the dog of honor! I first met my Mom and Dad when they rescued me from the shelter. That was the day my whole life changed! Since then, I have had the best home. I love to cuddle, play with toys, and follow my parents around wherever they go! I am always a good boy, and that is why my parents have chosen me as their dog of honor. I can't wait for Mom to finally have the same last name as me!
