Ceremony & Reception

Our Wedding

It all began in 2004, when John hired Kimber to work at the law firm he was managing. What started as two colleagues navigating the fast-paced world of legal work quickly blossomed into a deep friendship. From the very beginning, there was an undeniable connection—a shared sense of humor, mutual respect, and an easy camaraderie that made work not just bearable, but enjoyable. Our families, too, grew up a bit intertwined. Our children came to know each other as they grew, sharing holidays and summers hanging out at the pool. Our lives—once separate—began to feel even more intertwined as we shared the joys and challenges of raising kids to adulthood and navigating the world. As time went on, life led both of us down different paths, and our work relationship eventually came to an end in 2009.&nbsp;But the bond we had formed didn’t fade. We stayed in touch, the kind of friendship that effortlessly picks up where it left off, no matter the time or distance. After a particularly long period of being out of touch, with other relationships and life events in between, fate brought our paths back together in 2015.&nbsp;One Facebook rant from Kimber, a nudge from John’s daughter, Meghan, and a dinner invitation by John, and our lives were forever changed for the better. Years have passed since that first meeting in 2004, but what began as a professional connection evolved into something far more meaningful. We’ve watched each other’s families grow, and in the process, we’ve built something special—a love rooted in trust, laughter, and the simple joy of sharing life’s moments together.&nbsp;We’re thrilled to be making this story a “Happily Ever After”&nbsp;and officially joining our lives and our families as one.&nbsp;
