Our Wedding

Our Story

Some love stories begin with a spark—ours started with crayons and classroom cubbies.We met in kindergarten and shared the same class through fourth grade. Even back then, there was something special between us. Hailey had a not-so-secret crush and showed it the best way a fourth grader could: by bossing Brady around. Brady, equally smitten, happily followed along. Though we were too shy to say anything, the connection was there from the start.After fourth grade, life took us in different directions, but we stayed loosely connected over the years. In 2020, as the world slowed down, we reconnected on social media, and it felt like no time had passed at all. That reconnection quickly turned into long conversations, shared dreams, and a love that felt both brand new and beautifully familiar.From long-distance love to moving cities, building a life together, and adopting our chaotic cutie of a cat, each step has brought us closer to this moment.Now, we're so excited to begin our next chapter, marriage, with all the people we love most by our side.
