Our Wedding

Many years ago Marcus and Gena met on Facebook. Marcus jokingly claims that Gena added him, and he messaged her, asking, “Do I know you?” Even though they went to different high schools, they would occasionally cross paths through mutual friends and chat. It wasn’t until 2016, in their early twenties, that they discovered their love for each other. Gena was busy with college, and Marcus was starting his business. Since then, they’ve been inseparable—spending nearly every day together, through both joyful and challenging times—with their beloved dog Domo by their side.

How We Met 

Our Story

Maddie, someone I’ve known for a long time, feels like family to me. We grew up just two houses apart and have countless memories from our childhood to high school. She’s accomplished so much in life, from marrying her soulmate to becoming a mother to her beautiful babies! Despite our vastly different lives, we’ve managed to stay close. We can always count on each other for support, whether it’s during good times or bad. She’s an incredible friend, and I’m so grateful to have her by my side.

Lisa, another long-time friend, herand I grew up together going to the same grade school. Even though we took different paths in high school, we remained close. We’ve been through so much together, both good and bad, and we’re always there for each other during both joyful and challenging times. I can’t imagine my life without her, and I’m overjoyed to have her by my side on our special day!

Bria and I became close later in life but I am so blessed to have a friend like her. We shared so many good memories this past summer that I will never forget.  She’s  been such a light in my life and I’m so glad to have her by my side on our special day!
