Our Wedding

Our story began back in high school when we were just 15 and 16. What started as a simple first date to the drive-in quickly turned into a close friendship that shaped our teenage years.Life took us on different paths for a while, but in our later years of college, we found our way back to each other. This time, it didn’t take long to realize that it was God’s perfect timing for us to be together. Fittingly, our “second first date” was once again at the drive-in movies — and from that moment on, the rest is history.In May of 2024, we got engaged in beautiful Hawaii, and now we’re so excited to be saying “I do” on June 4th, 2026. We’ve come a long way from the teenagers who met all those years ago, and we can’t wait to begin this next chapter as husband and wife&nbsp;
