Our Wedding

Everything started when Caleb began attending Emily's church in the summer of 2023. Caleb saw Emily up front playing the piano in church and was in awe. A few months later, Caleb reached out to Emily over Instagram on September 22, 2023, after she posted a story about Hobbit Day 2023. We talked over Instagram for a few weeks and then finally had our first date on October 21, 2023. A few weeks went by, and we officially became boyfriend and girlfriend on November 12, 2023! Our love story moved quickly, as it only took 16 days for the first kiss and "I love you" (Caleb first followed by Emily) on November 28, 2023. Our love continued to blossom throughout the end of 2023 with meeting each other's family, close friends, and spending time together at Thanksgiving and Christmas. We continued to challenge each other in life, faith, and habits as we spent more time together. As 2024 began, the fun continued with skiing/snowboarding; having our first Valentine's day; celebrating birthdays; attending a wedding; and adventuring to places such as Yosemite, Tahoe, and the East Coast. Our bond became strengthened by spending quality time in both good and challenging times, as well as growing together in Christ. Finally, at sunrise on October 26, 2024, Caleb knelt down and Emily said yes! We cannot wait to begin this next stage of life together and to celebrate with family and friends as we "tie the knot" in 2025!
