Throughout our 3½ years together, our relationship has grown through love, intention, and a deep appreciation for time spent together. During this season we have lived separately, with Maddie in Richmond and Lawrence in Virginia Beach, building our individual lives while nurturing a shared commitment to one another. The distance has shaped our story, teaching us patience and perspective, and reminding us that the most meaningful things in life are worth waiting for.

As we prepare to begin our life together after the wedding, we are grateful for all that we already have. Between our two homes, we have gathered many of the everyday essentials, which led us to consider what would bring us the greatest joy and meaning as we start this next chapter. Instead of a traditional registry, we have chosen to create a honeymoon fund, inviting our loved ones to help us experience something truly memorable as we celebrate our marriage.

We have intentionally saved travel for after our wedding, making our honeymoon not just a trip but a long-awaited milestone. Each contribution will help bring that experience to life, and so we appreciate your generosity playing a role in our first adventure and memories as husband and wife.

Love you all! 🫶🏼🫶🏾
