Our Wedding

“Every choice you have made has led you to this moment” -Darth Maul to Ahsoka, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, S7 E10: Phantom Apprentice. Our story is of a love that prevails throughout life’s journey. One where we choose to love each other and experience life together! Since the beginning our relationship in 2018 it has been a shared dream of ours to have one big combined family vacation, including both sides of people who are important to us. We couldn’t think of a better way to spend our wedding than on vacation with the most important people in our lives!
