Our Wedding

Vance’s job had brought him to California on a temporary rotation, and within his first month there, fate brought him and Hannah together. Their connection was immediate, and they quickly became inseparable.Not long after Vance moved to California, the state shut down due to the pandemic. This unexpected turn of events meant that Vance spent most of his time with Hannah and her circle of friends, deepening their bond in ways they never could have anticipated. When his work rotation expired, Vance faced the decision to return to Virginia. Despite the distance, their relationship remained strong, and they embarked on a long-distance journey filled with countless video calls, visits, and love letters.Vance, who had never been much of a cat person, quickly fell in love with Hannah’s cat, Vino. Inspired by his newfound appreciation for feline friends, the couple adopted Mojito. Soon after, as if by destiny, a tiny two-week-old kitten appeared on their doorstep. They named her Martini, and with that, their family grew to five.In 2023, Hannah and Vance purchased their first home together in Yorktown, marking another milestone in their journey.Hannah and Vance’s story is one of love, resilience, and shared adventures. Surrounded by family, friends, and their three beloved cats, they look forward to celebrating their union and the bright future ahead.

Hannah and Alleigh met in chemistry class in 2015. They were the only two girls in the class and naturally started chatting. Soon after, they both realized they were in Greek life and continued their friendship through various events, forming a close-knit friend group.

Alleigh has been Hannah's go-to person—if you know Hannah, you know Alleigh. Often referred to as "Hannah and Alleigh," their bond is inseparable. Fun fact: they have never gone a day without talking and have remained best friends even when Hannah moved to Virginia.

Hannah would do anything for Alleigh, and this is a well-known fact. Alleigh’s unwavering support and their shared memories make her the perfect choice for Maid of Honor in Hannah and Vance’s wedding.

Vino

Martini

Martini, our newest baby, embodies youngest child syndrome to perfection. She’s endlessly caring and loving, with big dreams of exploring the outdoors. Found on our doorstep, she enjoys spending time with her parents and persistently meows until she’s let outside. We thank God every day for bringing her into our lives.
