Our Wedding

We believe in the invisible string theory…let us explain! Before we met we had been in a few places at the same time, but never knew one another. To give you a couple examples we both went to the Newport News YMCA summer camp at the same time when we were around 12 years old and Austin even attended Moira’s Senior prom! As the invisible string theory works, we were in the same place at the same time just not ready to cross paths yet. Years later with the help of facebook, we ended up connecting online and meeting in person to find a great connection. We starting dating a couple months later. Flash forward a few years, here we are planning our wedding! We are so excited to celebrate with  each and everyone of you and so thankful you are able to take time out of your busy lives to celebrate with us!

Clair is not only Moiras mom, she is one of the most amazing and influential role models in her life. Moira couldn’t see her big day without Clair being an active part of it. Having Clair as her maid of honor just feels right in every way possible. “My mom has stood by me and supported me my entire life, it makes the most sense and I would love for her to be behind me on one of the biggest and most important days of my life”. Moira feels lucky to have the relationship and friendship she does with her mom.

Clair Dorsey 

Madison and Moira go way back to kindergarten! They have been friends since then but their friendship really blossomed in middle school when they use to have sleepovers, listen to music, trade clothes and talk about boys and life all night long. Madison and Moira still live in the same area and see each other whenever their busy schedules permit! They are both always down for a hot tub night at the Dorseys! Madison got married in 2024 and Moira was a bridesmaid in her wedding.

Madison Ashley

Emmy and Moira have been friends since kindergarten and that is where their friendship not only started but blossomed. Emmy and Moira have been running around causing a ruckus ever since after school care in elementary school to high school back in the day driving our parents crazy! Moira is excited to be living in the same state as Emmy again as she continues her career!

Emily Bennick 

Emily and Moira have been friends since kindergarten but really became the best of friends in middle school during the ipod, skinny jeans and basketball days. Emily doesn’t live in Virginia anymore but any time Moira and Emily see each other it’s like no time has passed! Emily got married in 2025 and Moira was a bridesmaid in her wedding.

Emily Stewart 

Cam and Moira met freshman year in college and have been inseparable since! Moira feels special to have a friend like Cam where they have known each other since college but it feels like they have been friends since they were kids. Cam is such a one of a kind friend and Moira is so thankful so have her in her life. Since college Cam always knows how to put a smile on anyone’s face & will have your cheeks hurting from laughing. 

Cameron Powers

Veronica and Moira met in High School at Peninsula Catholic and went to ODU together where they shared an apartment! Veronica is such an exceptional friend and human being.

Veronica stops by every time she visits from California! Veronica is getting married late 2026 and Moira will be a bridesmaid in her wedding.

Hope and Moira met through nursing school. Hope is one of those people that when you meet them you know how good of a person and better a friend she is. From nursing school to working at the same hospital to Hope doing Travel Nursing in different places in the country and state; Hope is finally back home in Smithfield/Hampton for now and they see each other whenever their busy crazy schedules align!!

Hope Crook

Tori and Moira met in nursing school and hit it off immediately. Tori is one of those people where you become her friend & it feels like you’ve known her your whole life; her whole family treats you like family as well so that just explains her. Tori and Moira never worked at the same hospital but that doesn’t stop them from seeing each other whenever possible with the crazy schedules they have!

Victoria Atkins 

Jen and Moira met through nursing, working on the General Surgery Unit together on night shift. There’s just something about a friendship that started from buddies at work to a great friend & friendship outside of work. She is so thankful to have met her & to have her friendship!

Claire and Moira have been friends since before Moira was even born. Both Claire and Moiras dads were best friends growing up and once they were married our moms became besties as well! Claire and Moira have been friends for so long but have never lived in the same state. We grew up meeting at Moiras grandparents house in Georgia every summer to catch up. Claire now lives in Arizona but that doesn’t stop them from staying close; they are only a video chat away! Moira was the Maid of Honor at Claire’s wedding.
