Our Wedding

Ryan and I met in 2017 in a trade class that we both shared interest in. To this day he will not admit how he was blown away by my charm and beauty and of course my incredible welding skills. Shortly after the start of what would be an amazing relationship, we discovered we would be expecting our first child, Remington. While navigating the hardships that came with a new relationship and becoming young parents, we never gave up on what we both knew would be a lifetime of love. In 2020 Ryan devoted himself to his country by enlisting into the army. For 6 months we had to rely on hundreds of letters as our only way of communication and also the only way we could express the feelings and dreams that we had for one another. Then, in July of 2020, Ryan came home and met with my dad where he asked for his blessing and just an hour later asked me to be his wife. Shortly after our engagement we received notice of having to possibly be separated again which led us to finalizing our marriage in August of 2020. Although we were supposed to have a wedding the following year, life got very busy as we were still trying to navigate a new marriage, raising our son Remington and then in May of 2021 a new surprise, our youngest boy Charlie. Now, 5 years later we are ready to “Retie” the knot in front of all of our closest friends and family. We want to share our happiness and our love with the ones we love and have the celebration that we had dreamed of all those years ago!
