Our Wedding

Some love stories begin in the most unexpected places, and ours started at a perfect attendance party at the end of sixth grade. We met that day and something just clicked. It was one of those rare, instant connections, even if we didn’t realize it yet. In seventh grade, fate brought us together again when we were placed side by side in media publications class. We spent that year laughing, learning, and becoming close friends. Then life threw us a curveball—Tatum moved to Reno, Nevada. But even across state lines, we stayed in touch. We exchanged messages and sent gifts, always making time for one another whenever she returned to Texas. It wasn’t always easy, but even at that young age, we knew the connection we shared was something different, something worth holding onto. Everything changed the summer before our junior year of high school. Tatum moved back to Texas, and we picked up right where we left off. That Fourth of July, we spent the day together, and it was clear that this was more than just a childhood friendship. A few weeks later, on August 5, 2019, we made it official and started dating. From that day forward, we grew together through every phase of life. We finished high school side by side, then started college together at Tarleton State University. Those years were filled with unforgettable memories. We got our dog Bleu during freshman year, learned how to live on our own, supported each other through long nights and full schedules, and figured out who we were both individually and as a couple. After graduation, we took a celebratory trip to Maui, Hawaii. One quiet morning on the beach, I got down on one knee and asked her the easiest and most important question I’ve ever asked. Thankfully, she said yes and made it look like she’d been waiting for me to figure it out for a while.Over the years we’ve moved around quite a bit and experienced a lot of change together. Through it all, we finally found our place and have settled in Fort Worth with Bleu and a life we love. It has been nearly six years of growing up and growing together, and I wouldn’t trade a single moment. Being with Tatum has never felt like a task or a duty. It has been a joy, a privilege, and the greatest adventure I could have ever imagined. Now, we are so excited to begin the next chapter and to celebrate that moment with all of you by our side.
