Our Wedding

It all began in 2017, just a few days before Valentine’s Day, when a mutual friend introduced us. The moment our eyes met, we both cracked a joke—and we've been laughing and roasting each other ever since. From that very first night, we discovered not just a spark, but the beginning of something much deeper. What started as a friendship quickly became a bond we couldn’t ignore. Whether it was sharing our favorite foods, quoting movies, planning trips, or simply turning everyday moments into something fun, we found that life was better together. We’ve been each other’s biggest cheerleaders, road trip companions, private chefs and taste testers, spell checkers and meme collectors, unskilled WebMD caretakers, suspicious tax write-offs, unpaid plumbers and housekeepers, alibis and scapegoats, amateur therapists, personal shoppers and passenger princesses— and constant sources of laughter. Over the years, we’ve walked through every season of life side by side. We’ve grown together, learned from each other, and built a love rooted in trust, joy, and the kind of friendship that makes our new family feel just like coming home. What began as two best friends has blossomed into so much more. In each other, we found true partnership for life— one that we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you.
