Our Wedding

Our story began like so many modern romances: online. We connected and quickly discovered that there was something special between us. Our first date on April 15th, 2022, was unforgettable—a night filled with laughter and the beginning of what would become an incredible journey together. At the time, Clinton was only planning to stay in Ohio for a few months, but life had other plans. The more time we spent together, it became clear that neither of us wanted to let this connection go. Clinton decided to extend his stay in Columbus for a year to see where this relationship could take us. By the end of that year, he knew he didn’t want to continue the journey without her by his side. So, he asked Leah to leave Columbus with him, and they set off on a new adventure together. We moved to Fort Lauderdale, where we made a cozy 375-square-foot apartment our home. Living and working side by side every day was an unforgettable experience—a year filled with joy, growth, and countless memories that deepened our bond. It was one of the happiest times of our lives. After a year in Florida, life took us to Arizona, where we’ve spent the past year building a life together and dreaming of the future. Now, as we prepare to return to Fort Lauderdale, we’re excited to take the next step—buying a home and starting a family. Every step of this journey has brought us closer, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds.
