Our Wedding

Lyndsey and Robert lived in the same town, knew a few of the same people, and lived less than 5 miles from each other, but neither would cross paths until 2017. It took a social media site to bring the two together. In 2017, Robert and Lyndsey connected and figured out not only did they live in the same city, they had a lot of similar interests. They became friends and stayed in touch for a while. Robert even asked Lyndsey out a couple times, but she was completely oblivious! Over time, they drifted apart. The two didn’t talk for a year. On January 28th, 2019 Lyndsey found their old message thread, and realizing it was a year to the day that they had last spoke, shot Robert a message saying “hey so it’s been a year”. Their connection was instantly back, and a relationship grew. Lyndsey and Robert’s relationship is full of love, laughter, understanding (and good food!). They see each other not only as each other’s love but also their best friend. It was in May of 2019 in New Orleans that both Robert and Lyndsey realized that they were falling in love with each other. On June 19th, 2023 (four years from the day they said ‘I Love You’) Robert proposed at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans. Lyndsey and Robert love making memories, and they are so excited to have you share in the celebration of their wedding! Who knew that social media could bring two people together and create such a lovely story?
