Our Wedding

We met on eHarmony while both looking for something real. After chatting for a few weeks, we finally met in person at a church service in Dayton, Ohio — and the next day Mallory drove to Columbus to meet Robert’s family. Things clicked right away, and before long we were officially together, commuting between Dayton and Columbus as we fell more in love. Mallory had always dreamed of moving back to Columbus, and when the timing felt right she packed up her life and returned to the city she loves. A year and a half later, Robert knew it was time to take the next step — and Mallory said yes. We can’t wait to celebrate with our family and friends on February 14, 2026, in Columbus, Ohio as we start this next chapter together.

Our Love Story!

Our Story

Mr. + Mrs.

Mallory grew up in Columbus and still calls it home. She shares her life with a mildly indifferent kitty named Summertime. In her free time she loves watching movies, going on walks, and spending time with Bo. Mallory can't wait to celebrate with you.

Mallory Deming

Born and raised in Columbus with love of his family and friends. Works on a delivery service with Lanham Hardwood Floorings, and has a talent in drawing and sketching, as a hobby and for fun. Really loves both playing games and hangouts with his friends, as well as spending his other free time on date nights (walks, seeing movies, and putting putting) with his love and soulmate, Mallory.

Whitney has known Mallory for over 28 years! Growing up together, they loved to play Barbie’s, watch movies, and enjoy endless rounds of 1-on-1 games of UNO. As adults, they have enjoyed meeting up for breakfast and taking walks. Whitney is excited to celebrate with Mallory and Bo as they embark on this next season of life.

Mallory and I worked together for a little over a year! In that time she became like a big sister to me and played a huge role in me learning and growing and just having a safe space. Especially with my relationship to my now husband! She was the Maid of Honor at my wedding and I so happy and thankful to be at her side during hers!
