Our Wedding

Our love story began in the most unexpected way—online. What started as simple messages turned into late-night conversations, laughter, and the realization that we had found something truly special. From that first connection, our bond grew stronger with every moment shared. Now, we’re thrilled to be saying “I do” on November 8, 2025. We’re so grateful for the journey that brought us together and can’t wait to celebrate the beginning of our forever with all of you.

Our Story

From the moment we met, we clicked like we had known each other forever. Becoming best friends was easy, but becoming sorority twins made it even more special—we shared not just laughter and late-night talks, but a bond that felt more like family. Through every season of life, she’s been my constant, my cheerleader, and my heart’s twin. It only feels right that she’s standing by my side as my maid of honor on one of the most important days of my life. I couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without her right there with me.

Vicki 

From the start, she was more than just my Big in the sorority—she quickly became my mentor, my rock, and one of my closest friends. She’s been there through every laugh, tear, and milestone, always offering love, wisdom, and a whole lot of fun along the way. Having her as a bridesmaid on my wedding day means the world to me, because she’s been such a big part of my journey. I’m so lucky to have her by my side, just like she’s always been.

Life has a funny way of bringing people together, and we’re lucky it made us both best friends and sister-in-laws. From casual hangouts to family get-togethers, we’ve shared lots of laughs, great conversations, and fun memories. It’s pretty special to go through life with someone who feels like both a friend and family, and we’re so excited for all the moments still to come—side by side, just like always.
