Our Wedding

We met at Jacksonville University, where we started off as best friends. Little did we know that our friendship, built on laughter and shared experiences, would grow into something much more special. We both played lacrosse and were in the same graduating class, which gave us plenty of time to get to know each other. Over the years, our bond blossomed into a love story that has only gotten stronger. After countless memories together some full of laughter, others filled with tears our relationship officially began on April 27, 2017. Since that day, our lives have been filled with joy, growth, and so much love. Fast forward to July 8, 2024, Eric popped the question in Paris. It was a moment neither of us will ever forget. Along the way, we became homeowners and built a life together. We share our space with a big ole dog named Ralph, who we adore more than anything. Ralph has quickly become a beloved part of our family, filling our home with love, joy, and wagging tails every day. Now, after years of dreaming and waiting, we’re finally tying the knot! We know many of you have been waiting just as long as we have, and we can’t wait to celebrate this special day with all of you. Thank you for being part of our journey. Let’s make this chapter one for the books!
