Our Story

Our Love Story

We are thrilled to celebrate the most important day of our lives with all of you!

We met working together at Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen back in 2018! We met for the first time when Oscar came up to me and asked "do you know Patrick Kenny?" I of course said "yes!" The rest is history! We grew to be very good friends working in the trenches of the restaurant industry. While we were both furloughed during the pandemic, our friendship grew to becoming best friends. I moved to Indiana to pursue a new career as a family teacher at United Methodist Children's Home in Indiana. I was there for about a year and a half and loved every second! It was time to return home to be close with my friends and family. Oscar was insistent on seeing me and rekindling our friendship! We met for a beer to catch up, and we could tell there was more there than friendship. He took me to the Aviary for our first official date. We tried to get into Au Cheval afterwards but could not get in! We found the next best thing! It truly was full speed ahead after that. We fell in love immediately once we started dating! We knew we were meant to be from the moment we said I love you to one another. We have since both spent majority of our relationship in the restaurant industry and are both ready to do more! We have accepted jobs as a family teacher couple in Indiana at the same Children's Home I worked at prior to us beginning our love story together. We both know we are being called to do something more and are thrilled for the opportunity to do it together as a team and as ONE!

Oscar proposed in front of the Tivoli movie theater. There is some irony in doing this because our favorite date is to go to the movies together with a big bowl of popcorn and Dr. Pepper in hand! I was over the moon to say yes to the love of my life!

We are so grateful for our parents, families, and friends support throughout this chapter. We could not be more excited to celebrate our love with you all! Let the count down begin!
