Dear Friends and Family,

Zachary and I are overflowing with joy as we step into this beautiful new chapter of our lives together. As we look back on our journey, we are deeply moved by the tapestry of memories and adventures that have woven our story. It feels like just yesterday when our eyes first met at Josh Sanders's car wash—a moment so charged with unspoken anticipation that neither of us could find the courage to speak. Despite the initial shyness, something unmistakable sparked between us. When we later reconnected on a dating app, it was as though our hearts recognized each other instantly, and from that first conversation, we felt an extraordinary connection that has only grown stronger with time.

Throughout my years at Ferris, Zachary’s unwavering love and commitment were evident in the countless miles he traveled between Byron Center and Big Rapids just to be by my side. Together, we crafted a treasure trove of memories with our friends—whether we were floating down the river, celebrating at football games, savoring late-night Taco Bell runs, or enjoying carefree moments at Shooters. Each experience has been a testament to the joy we find in each other's company and the deep bond we share.

As we look ahead, we know that life’s journey will present its share of highs and lows. Yet, we face the future with hearts full of hope and a steadfast commitment to one another. We are eager to weather any storm that comes our way, supported by the love and dedication that has been our foundation. Standing before all of you, we will vow our love and devotion in the presence of God, ready to embark on this lifelong adventure together. We cannot wait to share this special day with each of you and celebrate the profound love that has brought us here.

With all our love and anticipation,

Zachary and Kaitlyn
