Our story began when we met in middle school. Groundbreaking-romance stuff: Yo-mamma jokes, Gavin lovingly placing his picked off callouses on my desk, the many puncture wounds I inflicted upon him with #2 pencils. It was a thing of beauty.

Fast forward 15 years and we have been together for 8 of those. We've enjoyed travel to unique places (Head over to our 'Photos' to see my tortured face while hiking through a Patagonian rain storm, contrasted with Gavin's Golden Retriever-level glee; waterside cuddles in Paris, because *Romance*), Supported each other in our respective weirdo sports (high-kneeling in fast, skinny boats? dancing with ponies? Ninja Warrior? what?), ate thousands of dollars worth of pizza, and most importantly, never stopped telling yo-mamma jokes. There is admittedly less pencil stabbing, but that is probably for the best.

Now we live on a farm together with our pup-son Winston (Look out for the cutest ring bearer ever on the big day!), doing our best to balance pup-parenting alongside our respective careers: Training horses and teaching their riders as well as providing psychotherapy as a licensed social worker on my end, and fire fighting with the Alexandra VA Fire Department, alongside coaching at the beloved Washington Canoe Club, on Gavin's end. In other words, huge thanks to my amazing mom Mariana for putting this wedding together!!! If I had to do more than put this website together, I would probably cry.

And cheers to you, reader, for taking part in our story. We hope to see you there!
