Lacey: A quiet observer of life, always taking in the world around her. A pessimist who sets her expectations for life low, so she is not often disappointed or surprised when things go awry. A nurturing soul who would take from herself to give to someone else.

And then there's Billy: the calm, motivated, outgoing force that lights up any room he enters. Sometimes obnoxious but always dedicated and looking for opportunities to help those in need.

They met online (they admit it), which led to their first face-to-face meeting at Cactus Cantina in Pensacola, a date that started out as a scavenger hunt but was changed due to a tumultuous thunderstorm. Intrigued to know more about each other, they quickly realized that their hearts were drawn together by fate and held together by a hard-headedness and mutual understanding that this is probably the best it’s been, and they might should hang onto it.

From traveling to cooking, from raising kids to paying dues, they find joy in experiencing new adventures and completing mundane tasks together. But it hasn't always been smooth sailing. They’ve faced huge fights (usually Billy’s fault) and heartbreaking losses, but through it all, their love grew stronger. That love, along with their stubbornness and refusal to let one another go, is the force that has kept them together, constantly pursuing and taking care of each other.

Their hopes and dreams for the future are simple yet profound: creating a loving home, growing old in love, and embracing new experiences together.

To their wedding guests, they want to share the message of celebration. Come join them as they embark on this new chapter of their lives with love, laughter, and a whole lot of happiness.

They can't wait to celebrate with all of you!
