Our Wedding

Our parents remember us meeting at the McConnell’s Mum farm when we were probably about 4 years old, our homes growing up are only half a mile from each other. We didn’t cross paths again until we went to high school together and became friends. I even remember cheering him on, wearing his jersey number at a senior soccer game. We went on our first date in 2021 and have been together ever since! 

All along there was an invisible string tying you to me
