Technology brought us together. From the very first conversation, something timeless begun. Our first date was axe throwing, and between the laughter, the playful competition, and the way time seemed to disappear, we both knew something rare was in the air.

From there we grew through every season together.

This past year, Tevin was deployed, and distance became our greatest teacher. It reminded us that love is patient, steady, and strong even oceans apart. Like our letters, our love traveled. What started with little trips together to New York, Colorado, and Florida Turned into Mallory rushing through terminals to visit Tevin overseas during his deployment. There on a quiet pretty beach in Castellammare del Golfo, Tevin got down on one knee and asked Mallory to Marry him. (ummmm easy YESSS).

Long distancing again Tevin finished the remainder of his deployment and Mallory began wedding planning stateside.

Returning from deployment began the sweetest date nights yet.. wedding planning side by side. Now, as we look toward August 2026 in Murray, we carry every mile, every letter, and every moment apart with us. Grateful for the journey that brought us here, we can’t wait to stand together, surrounded by the people we love, and begin the rest of our lives as husband and wife together, finally, and fully.
