Our Wedding

Emilys Story: On prom night of junior year, I just happened to hit it off with someone who coincidentally was not my date, Tristan. Fast forward seven long months later, we were official and have been inseparable since. Along the way, we have reached milestones such as our first apartment together, adopting our cats, Jack and Evie, and most recently he popped the question in front of loved ones in Arizona! I couldnt be more excited to marry my best friend and am one of the luckiest people in the world to have met my soulmate so young. Tristan is my better half and brings the perfect balance and peace to my world, while always making me feel like the most important person in it. We cant wait to celebrate with all those important to us! Tristans Story: Junior year, I went to prom at a different school. At that school I didnt know but I would meet the love of my life. We danced to the Cupid Shuffle and the rest was history... We then started dating after knowing each other for seven months and we have gone through so many ups and downs along the way. We were dating for 3 years and just shy of three months when we went on vacation down to Arizona. There, with the help of my family, I asked her to marry me. I am so grateful and excited to be able to marry the most perfect girl and someone that always helps me be the best person I can be. We cant wait for the day to arrive where we both say, I Do!
