Wedding Day

Cathedral Barn Traverse City

Reception

Our Wedding

We met through friends over 5 years ago. Dated for a half a second but the timing didn't work out and we went our separate ways. This picture is from the very first night we ever met! 5 years later, God brought us back together when the timing was just right and we were both more prepared and better for each other. We immediately fell in love and became each other's person. Inseparable and attached at the hip :) We love to do the same things, love people and our family. We are definitely better together and so insanely happy every single day!!

A true love story never ends...
