After Ceremony Brunch

Although our wedding ceremony and luncheon are an intimate, invitation-only celebration, we wanted to create this website so that our family and friends can still be part of our special day. Here you'll be able to learn more about our story, follow along with our journey, and watch our wedding through a live stream or the video recording afterward. It means so much to us to be able to share this incredible moment with everyone we love, no matter where you are.As we begin this new chapter together, we've also included our honeymoon and wedding fund for anyone who feels moved to contribute. In place of traditional gifts, we are gratefully accepting donations to help us begin our marriage and make our dream honeymoon a reality. While your presence and support are truly the greatest gifts we could ask for, any contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated. Thank you for celebrating this exciting new chapter with us and for being a part of our lives.

Our Wedding

Our story started online in June 2023 with 2,500+ miles between us (Morgan in Europe on vacation and Tristan at home in Florida.) We met on Snapchat and just immediately clicked, chatting throughout my trip and learning more and more about each other - starting the slide from friends into more. After a brutal 17-hour flight back to the U.S., I was absolutely travel-worn and waiting through a final horrible layover at DFW when Tristan said “I love you” for the first time. Not exactly glamorous, but very on brand for us!The first time we met in person was in July 2023, when Tristan flew from West Palm Beach to Idaho Falls to visit me. IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! Never an awkward moment, we spent an amazing week together. By the time Tristan was leaving, we knew that seeing each other every other month would not be enough. Because Tristan’s school was in-person and mine online, we made a plan for me to move to West Palm Beach where we could be together. In late October, just before my 19th birthday, Tristan flew back to Idaho Falls to help me pack my stuff, and we drove 35 hours across the country to South Florida. It was exhausting, exciting, chaotic, and somehow the happiest either of us had ever been. That drive marked the moment when “home” stopped being a place and started being each other.We spent the next 18 months learning how to be independent and competent adults while building a life together. Some of those lessons were very hard, we did not get everything right on the first try, and circumstances briefly pulled us both back to our families and away from each other. We realized we both had a lot to learn about being a good partner to the other, but even when we were again living in different states our feelings for one another never changed. So we committed to honest self-reflection and improvement, and we worked on our communication skills. We talked about all of our expectations and hopes for ourselves and each other. We visited often, stayed constantly connected, and kept on choosing each other every single day.On September 22, 2025, Tristan proposed at a beautiful waterfall near my family’s new home in Pennsylvania. (Okay, so it turned out to be more of a dribble than a waterfall, but it was perfect anyway!) It was magical, unforgettable, and of course, my answer was yes.Another cross-country move! Just after Christmas, Tristan and I loaded up all my stuff and hauled it to our new place in Sanford, Florida, where our life together truly began. Since then, dreams have turned into reality: he landed his dream job as a highly-trained mechanic and certified welder working on classic cars, and I graduated and started my dream job working with infants as a daycare teacher! We’ve made a home with our three cats in a cozy little apartment that is perfectly ours.And that’s our story! We are living proof that true love can survive distance, timing, our own emotional growing pains, thousands of hours on FaceTime, and even disappointing waterfalls.

Our Story

We met online. We chose each other in real life. Through distance, late-night calls, and miles in between, we built something real. And now we choose each other forever.

My sister is my best friend in the whole world and my greatest confidant. Over the years, our bond has only grown stronger, and she has been my steady support through every season, including one of the hardest moments of my life. Having her by my side now means more than words can express.

Aidan is Tristan’s brother, his rock, and his very best friend. During a major transition in Tristan’s life, Aidan stepped in with unwavering support and welcomed him with open arms, showing the kind of brotherly love that defines their bond. Being so close in age has made them nearly inseparable throughout their lives, sharing countless laughs, memories, and a lifelong friendship that means everything to Tristan.

Heather is one of the most meaningful friendships in my life. We met through karate during a time when I felt alone, and she stood beside me with unwavering support and love. No matter how far apart life takes us, we always remain deeply connected and forever best friends.

Conrad, our ring bearer, is Mike and Heather’s son and an absolute joy to be around. Tristan and I love him like a nephew, and we are so grateful to have him as part of our special day.

Our Honeymoon Dream

As we begin this new chapter as husband and wife, we are dreaming of starting our marriage with an unforgettable journey to Japan. We hope to wander the vibrant streets of Tokyo, explore ancient temples, and immerse ourselves in the rich culture, history, and traditions that make Japan so extraordinary, creating memories hand in hand that will last a lifetime.This trip holds even deeper meaning for us because Tristan is a second degree black belt in Okinawan karate, an achievement that represents years of dedication and discipline. Experiencing the culture where this art was born would be a truly full circle moment and an incredible way to begin our marriage.In place of traditional wedding gifts, we are kindly asking for donations toward our honeymoon fund. We are also choosing to forgo physical gifts, so if you would like to give, honeymoon contributions would mean so much to us as we start building experiences together rather than things.We have set a honeymoon fund goal of $7,500 to help make this dream a reality, and any contribution toward our honeymoon in place of gifts is truly appreciated more than words can say.Your love and support mean everything to us, and we are so grateful to share this next chapter of our lives with you.

Honeymoon Fund

Whether you're joining us live or watching afterward, we're so grateful to have you share in this special moment with us. While not everyone can be there in person, we hope this live stream and recording allow you to experience our ceremony, celebrate alongside us, and witness the beginning of our next chapter together. Thank you for taking the time to be part of our day, it means more to us than words can express.
