Our Wedding

Our story started at a jeep night at Sonic&#8217;s parking lot. Over the last 10 years a friendship has grown to be more than we or anyone could imagine. Going through some tough life moments and supporting each other, we have come to know, trust and Love each other. Throughout our incredible number of untold adventures, journeys and expeditions, we have learned together to embrace the unknown. We invite you to witness and celebrate with us, what some will say is long overdue, this next phase of our life,&nbsp; as we say I do!
