Our Wedding

Mason and Bella met at Liberty University, through mutual friends. But it wasn’t until spring break in Panama City that sparks really flew—though, to be fair, it could have just been the sunburns. Both enjoy staying active through working out, cooking delicious meals (a.k.a Mason gets bossed around), and cherishing quality time with family. Bella is about to graduate with a nursing degree, while Mason is knee-deep in a mechanical engineering degree, which means he can probably build a bridge over all the paperwork he’s drowning in. Oh, and just when you think this couple couldn’t get more ambitious, Mason plans to go to medical school soon. So, if you need a bridge to the hospital, he’s your guy. Their wedding marks the beginning of a new chapter filled with fun and exciting new endeavors.
