Our Wedding

<p>Some love stories begin with fireworks — ours began with hallway hellos and quiet resilience.We met in June 2023 at work, two new faces in new roles, navigating unfamiliar waters. I was settling into a new position as the Executive Assistant, and he had just been hired as the Facilities Manager. From that very first meeting, he says he felt something — a spark, a pull — but life had other plans at the time. We didn’t chase anything more than a passing smile.By late summer, our lives were quietly unraveling in their own ways and somehow, we found each other right when we needed a safe place to land. What began as friendship quickly grew into something deeper: long conversations about everything and nothing, late-night talks, shared silences, and moments of laughter.October brought more time together — a work event turned into an entire day of laughter and connection, and even though rumors began to swirl, we insisted we were just friends. We were, mostly. But by November, something had shifted. We started spending real time together. For over a year, we shared big and small milestones: meeting my family, grieving my uncle’s passing, navigating the hardest and most human parts of life — side by side.In September 2024, the timing finally seemed right, and we officially began dating. But a month later, fear stepped in, and we parted ways.By December, everything changed. He gifted me a symbol of something lasting and asked me to take another chance on love, this time for good. Our first official date came on December 20th.By spring, we were building a home together, literally and figuratively, moving into our first condo in April 2025.He proposed on July 26th, during our first weekend getaway — under the stars, during a Ben Rector concert, with a ring and a promise.Our story isnt perfect. Its honest. Its earned. And its ours. We hope you can join us in celebrating the forever that we have found in each other.</p>

Things to Do

<p>We invite guests to dress in cocktail-style attire that’s polished yet comfortable for an outdoor fall setting. Think semi-formal outfits such as dresses, dressy tops with skirts or slacks, or suits and sport coats. Feel free to embrace seasonal colors and textures—like rich tones, florals, or light layers—to stay comfortable as temperatures shift throughout the day and evening. Avoid overly casual clothing (such as ripped jeans or sneakers) and opt for footwear suitable for outdoor terrain.</p>
