Our Wedding

The soon-to-be Furman family's story began with an unlikely introduction: an online match of Call of Duty. As fate would have it, they attended the same high school, unaware that their digital camaraderie would blossom into something more. For four years, they harbored secret crushes, their feelings locked away. It wasn't until early 2014 that Jeffrey finally gathered the courage to ask Fallon on their first date. From that moment forward, their lives intertwined, forever changing the course of their history.&nbsp;&lt;3

Our Story

Timeline and Photos

We have a LARGE wedding party, and there's a special reason for each person's inclusion. We want to clarify that this isn't a collection of every acquaintance we have. We have had many experiences including colleges, work, internship abroad, etc. that led us to many wonderful people. What can we say, the bride is something of a social butterfly, always on the move and meeting new people! Each and every person we've chosen holds deep significance for us. These individuals are the ones we are closest to, the ones we couldn't imagine celebrating this day without by our side. Trust us, there are many people dear to our heart who aren't part of the wedding party. This group was carefully curated. Take a moment to read their descriptions – you'll understand why they're all so important to us.

Meet one of the most incredible people you'll ever have the privilege of knowing. Callie, my maid of honor and sister at heart.  She possesses an inner fortitude that inspires those around her, a resilience that allows her to face life's challenges head-on. She is a force of nature. Her fierce loyalty shielding those she cares about. She transforms even the darkest days into ones filled with laughter. We're mirrored souls, our bond forged through shared experiences and an uncanny ability to read each other's minds. Our differences create a beautiful harmony – where I am soft, she is sharp. Laughter is our language, joy our constant companion. With her by my side, anything is possible.

In her company, you can't help but feel a little stronger, a little wiser, a little more hopeful. She is the kind of friend who makes you want to be a better person. And those lucky enough to call her friend are forever changed for the better.

Her profound empathy calms the most turbulent of storms. Whenever I'm upset, a few minutes with her soothes my soul in a way that's hard to explain.  Even as adults, despite the distance and infrequent visits, the moment we're together again it feels like no time has passed at all. Our bond remains unbroken, a testament to the unshakeable connection we forged in our childhood. Through the ups and downs of life, Amber remained a constant source of love and support.



Amber Mena Ochoa

One of my best friends from childhood. We met in the tumultuous world of middle school, forging an unbreakable bond through sleepovers I never let her sleep from until the sun was shining. As we grew older, our connection only deepened. College roommates, we filled our home with memories through late-night chats and mutual support. She has a knack for bringing people together through her warm hosting, ensuring everyone felt welcome, cared for, and left with a stomach and a fuller heart.  Even as adulthood brought new challenges, our friendship remained a constant, a cherished reminder of our journey. Chami is a piece of my heart, a friend I treasure deeply.

With her, laughter is guaranteed, turning even ordinary moments into unforgettable ones. I feel so lucky to have her in my life.

Years later, Lexi still has that magical ability to make any moment more vibrant and fun. She's more than just a friend – she's a ray of sunshine that brightens up the world.

Jess is more than just a close friend from my time at VCU - she's a constant source of light in my life. We met through judo, where she taught me much of what I know. During a difficult period in my college journey, Jess was there, her kindness and infectious happiness a beacon in the darkness. Her thoughtfulness and knack for knowing exactly how to make me laugh - even on my loneliest days away from home - brought me immeasurable joy. From adventures in Philadelphia to travels in Puerto Rico, every moment with Jess is a memory I treasure. She has a heart of gold, always ready to lend a hand or offer support to those in need. 

Jess Mulles

Sasha possesses a depth of kindness that is truly rare. She's a nature girl at heart, with a love for all living things, no matter how small. We bonded over our shared love of coral reef ecology at GMU, and that was just the beginning. Our numerous scuba diving adventures to Roatan, Honduras have brought us even closer together. Not only have we formed deep connections with the locals, but we've even found a special friend in Sandy the dolphin! Sasha is more than just my dive buddy – she's a true companion in every sense of the word. From exchanging bubble kisses underwater to fearlessly sinking into the depths with our glowing zooxanthellae, our adventures together are unforgettable.
