Well our story is a pretty unique one. Not your cliché version where we met in the produce aisle at the grocery store. Or the modern age swipe right... however, we actually have known each other for a long time.

Tommy started working for my grandfather at the funeral home right out of high school. He was my very first crush back in the 2nd grade! Unfortunately my unibrow and stick-on earrings weren't really luring him in, plus due to the fact that he would be arrested in most states for that, we continued to live our lives being acquaintances.

Tommy went on to marry his high school sweetheart, Nikki and then had two amazing children, Tommy and Taylor. Unfortunately, in 2016 and 2018, Tommy and I both experienced tragic losses. My best friend Genny and his wife Nikki both passed away due to cancer.

In the summer of 2019, Tommy joined my dad and me for a weekend trip up to the mountains. It was there that we got to spend time with each other, and I think both realized we endured a similar pain in losing our best friends. When we got back from the mountains, he smoothly asked me out to dinner in his bright blue sporty mustang (how could I say no?). We went to Pasta Vino on July 17, 2019 and the rest is history!!!

While it's crazy to think how this all panned out, I truly feel like we are a beautiful example of sunshine after a rainstorm. Tommy and the kids have filled holes in my heart that I never thought would have been mended. Finding love and happiness after a loss is a blessing and we thank God everyday that we are able to create beautiful memories and a life together.

We are so grateful for this love that we can share and cannot wait to celebrate that love with all of you on our special day 💜
