Our Wedding

In November 2019, we met through a mutual friend and quickly found ourselves spending more time together within the same friend group. What started as casual hangouts soon became something more, as we both began to notice a special connection forming.

2019

In 2020, we officially became a couple—right in the middle of the COVID-19 chaos! While the world was on pause, we were busy getting to know each other, binge-watching shows, sharing too many snacks, and finding creative ways to hang out safely. Even in a year of lockdowns and uncertainty, our connection grew stronger, and we learned that we could make anything fun as long as we were together.

2020

Along the way, Ava, his adorable dog, became a huge part of their lives. Even though Esme is more a cat person, it didn’t take long for Ava to win her over with her charm! From walks to cuddles, loving Ava has been one of the sweetest parts of their journey together.Forever in our hearts September 2014 - June 2026

Ava Girl

The moment we had all been waiting for—mostly Esme—finally came in April 2025. What I thought would be a simple Easter Sunday with family turned into an unforgettable engagement celebration! Surrounded by loved ones, he popped the question, and of course she said yes. It was such a perfect, joyful, and slightly surprising day, and from that moment on, we knew we were ready to take the next big step in our adventure together.

2025

And here we are in 2026—our wedding year! Between picking flowers, tasting cake, and trying not to get overwhelmed by all the planning, we’re having a blast getting everything ready. Every little detail brings us closer to the big day, and we can’t wait to celebrate with our family, friends, and everyone who’s been part of our journey. It’s going to be full of love, laughter, and memories with the people who mean the most to us.
