PIRATES, BABYYY - Luke the frat boy and Mallory the dancer met freshman year at ECU when we were just friends. We actually went on the same spring break trip in 2014 and remained friends throughout college but were never more than friends.

LIFE IN THE A - After college, Mallory moved to Atlanta to cheer for the Falcons and Luke moved to Atlanta to start his first construction gig, Kiewit. During a night at the Braves Stadium, we ran into each other and the rest was history. We started dating quickly after!

LOVE IN MUSIC CITY- In the midst of the pandemic, we signed a lease in Atlanta to move in together right before our one year anniversary. Two days before we were set to move in, Luke's work called and said he needed to move to Nashville starting the following week. What felt like one of the hardest decisions, quickly turned into the best thing we ever did. We moved to Nashville, moved into our first place together, and Bach Babes was started out of our apartment. We made new friends, found new experience, and most importantly realized how great together we actually are.

COVID WHO? - While living in Nashville, with the pandemic winding down, we found our love of travel and adventure together. Within our first year of living together we took solo trips to Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Alabama, New York, the Grand Canyon, St. Kitts, and six countries in Europe. Thus our love of Europe and travel began!

YEEEHAW - With Mallory's business ready to break into a new market and Luke ready for a career change, we found ourselves packing up a UHaul and moving to Austin, TX. We discovered a love of fresh margs and good tacos, but being so far away from all our friends and family made it difficult to love our new city. So our time as Texans was short lived, but we loved all the friends and memories we made. Moving away from everyone and everything we know, only having each other to rely on solidified our relationship even more!

CAROLINIANS AGAIN - In an attempt to move closer to our friends and family, while still living in a bachelorette destination with a need for a steel project manager, we settled on the quaint city of Charleston, SC and have loved every second of it. With family nearby and friends in driving distance, we've fallen in love with this beautiful city.

FROM LAKE COMO WITH LOVE - On a trip to our favorite country, Luke decided what better way to pop the question than in our favorite place doing our favorite thing, traveling! He booked an italian speaking photographer, scheduled a garden tour in a different country, and planned the perfect surprise. The following day we traveled to Greece to meet up with Mallory's family to show the new bling!

MOMMYMOON - Exactly one year before our big day, we boarded a plane with our moms to Lake Como, Italy. The trip was spent wedding planning, laughing all night, and drinking lots of italian reds :) This will be a trip we look back on for the rest of our lives.

THE WEDDING - With everything that has lead us to this event, choosing one of the cities we've lived in to host our big celebration didn't feel right. So we landed on doing something non-traditional that really felt like us, Italy! Lake Como was where our wedding story started so it only makes sense to start our forever story there as well - and it helps that it's the most beautiful place we've ever been! We can't wait to celebrate with you!
