Our Wedding

Welcome to our love story! Chris and I first crossed paths in preschool back in 2007, where we quickly became friends. I still chuckle imagining our tiny selves, perhaps sharing crayons and giggles, unknowingly laying the foundation for a lifelong bond. Fast forward to the fifth grade, when I overheard our teachers talking about meeting their husbands in elementary school. My heart skipped a beat as I thought, “That’s going to be Chris and me.” Who knew friendships could grow into such beautiful things? Our love deepened during our third date at an apple orchard. We spent hours talking, and in that moment, I realized I could chat with him forever. It was true love! As we look toward our future, we dream of growing old together, surrounded by love and laughter.Thank you, everyone, for being part of this wild journey. Let’s celebrate our love together! With love,Chris &amp; Leah
