Our Wedding

It all started at our local college bar in Orlando, Florida -  Knights Pub. What began as a casual night out turned into something that neither of us could have imagined—a love story that would take us all around the country and beyond. From the sunny beaches of the Bahamas and Cozumel, Mexico, to the bustling streets of New York City, the majestic mountains of Colorado, and everywhere in between, we’ve shared incredible adventures and unforgettable moments. Our travels took us through places like Arkansas, Missouri, Louisiana, Atlanta, Wyoming, and now, Houston, where we’ve made a home together. Along the way, we expanded our family by adopting three amazing companions—our dog and two cats, who we lovingly call our children. Our journey has been filled with laughter, love, and lots of adventures, and we can’t wait to start this next chapter of our lives with all of you by our side.
