Our Story

Photos

My daughter is the best and most important person I want standing beside me as Robby and I say our vows. Robby and Elora are two peas in a pod sharing their goofy and sometimes socially awkward personalities and sense of humor! They really do have the exact same personality and get along so well. Robby was sure to ask Eloras permission before asking to marry me and they spent weeks planning the proposal....although the plans were thrown out the window when Robby jumped the gun and proposed spur of the moment! We couldn't be happier to have Elora share our special day with us!
