We met in 2018 on a cruise to Bermuda while traveling with our families — both of us catching a glimpse of the other from across the pool deck and feeling something we couldn’t quite explain. Brendan turned to his cousin and said, “I gotta go talk to her,” and from that moment on, we barely left each other’s side. What followed was a week full of laughter, late nights, and easy conversation that made everything else fade into the background.

-

When the cruise came to an end, reality set in. We were heading home to places hundreds of miles apart, unsure of what the distance might bring but certain we didn’t want to let go. So we chose each other, committing to a long-distance relationship that lasted two and a half years and taught us the value of trust, communication, and showing up — even when it wasn’t easy.

-

In 2020, we moved to Mount Laurel, New Jersey, beginning our life together in the same place. Over time, that life filled with friends and memories that make it feel like home. Along the way, we also adopted our pup Archie, who quickly became the most loved (and spoiled) member of the family.

-

Through every chapter, our families have been our constant. Their unwavering support, encouragement, and belief in us carried us through the miles, the moves, and every milestone along the way. We are endlessly grateful for the love that has surrounded us from the very beginning.

-

Now, as we celebrate this moment together, we’re reflecting on everything that led us here — graduating, growing in our careers, and building a life rooted in love, laughter, and loyalty. We’re so excited to share this day with the people who mean the most to us.
