Our Wedding

We are so excited to celebrate this new chapter of our lives with all of you. Here’s a little preview into how our journey led us here. We went from two strangers at a country dance bar to best friends almost instantly. One dance turned into hours and hours of talking, sitting in a truck, sharing stories about life, love, family, and everything in between. We laughed, we connected, and yes… we were very late for curfew (sorry, Mom and Dad!). About five months into our relationship, we received the most unexpected and beautiful news, we were going to have a baby girl. That moment changed everything in the best way possible. Of course, there have been challenges, hard decisions, and plenty of late-night talks, but every bit of it has only made our love stronger. Through it all, we’ve found not just partners, but best friends in each other, a love built on grace, patience, and the promise to always choose one another. As we prepare to join in a covenant before Christ, we know that our marriage will be strongest with Him at the center, guiding our hearts, our home, and our future together. We can’t wait to keep growing our little family and to celebrate this next step surrounded by the people who mean the most to us.
