We met at a time in our lives when we quietly wondered if “finding our person” just wasn’t in the cards anymore. Both of us had done the healing, the growing, the waiting… and honestly, we weren’t expecting much when we walked into that first date in Lido.
But the moment we sat down, something felt different — calm, familiar, real. We both knew pretty quickly that whatever this was… it was going to matter.

Lido became the backdrop of our love story. We’ve gone back to that same spot to celebrate anniversaries, milestones, and the little moments in between. It’s where our relationship began, and now it’s where we get to celebrate the beginning of our marriage — surrounded by the people who mean the most to us. This is our Lido love story… the place where it all started, and the place where our future begins.

Faith has been the foundation of our relationship from the very start. We’ve built our connection through church, prayer, and the belief that God brought us together exactly when we needed each other most. So when we heard that our senior pastor no longer officiates weddings, we — in true “Ariana & Preston” fashion — took it as a challenge. And somehow… we convinced him.
The catch? He was only available on a Tuesday.
And honestly, it couldn’t be more us.

We chose to keep our ceremony small, intimate, and deeply personal with just our families and the people closest to our hearts. A quiet moment, meaningful vows, and then a dinner celebration that feels true to who we are. We wanted this season to be rooted in gratitude, connection, and presence… and to share it with the people who have loved and supported us along the way.

We met in a moment of low expectations and left with renewed hope. We fell in love over slow conversations, shared values, laughter, and the kind of peace that tells you you’re finally exactly where you’re meant to be.

We’re just really, really grateful to have found each other, and even more grateful to get to celebrate this next chapter with you.
