Our Wedding

Kallee and I first met in highschool during a varsity halftime show. Around this time I was learning the art of hypnosis, and was competent enough to practice my skills on strangers. One of those strangers happened to be her. I wowed her with my ability to make her forget the number 7, make her receive a phone call from her fav celebrity from her shoe, stick to her chair, think a belt was a snake, the works really. I was a sophomore and she was a junior at the time. We spent the first few weeks getting to know each other talking about our favorite movies, hobbies, and all the other things one does as they figure out their compatibility with another person. Fast forward to our first date, we were at six flags and I asked her to be my girlfriend officially after she got done using the bathroom (dumb move I know but it worked). This was in 2016 when she became my first girl, but what I didnt know was that she would be my first love and last.  One of the first memories I have where I thought to myself, “I could marry this woman,” was when she went out of her way on my 18th birthday to gather all my friends and family to my house for a surprise party. She has always been one to give thoughtful gifts but I remember vividly being like yea I don’t know if too many women would do this for their guy and make it as special as she did (she even continued this into college). All that is cute, but what I wanted to know and needed to be a reality was that she embraced my culture wholeheartedly and made efforts to be a part of it in some form or fashion. And what do you know she stepped up to the challenge! She has made it her goal to learn hairstyles, recipes, and educate herself on the importance of what it means to walk in my shoes and others in my family. She has shown me nothing but grace, patience, love, and kindness (and occasional rage 😂). We are both so grateful to you, our community, for your love and support. We can’t wait to celebrate the wedding with you soon in August!
