Our Wedding

As many of you know, 2020 changed the plans of many, and we were no exception. With just under 6 weeks until our wedding, we were told that everything was shutting down, including the Pavilion we planned to use for our reception. We were then told the military had put a radius limit of 50 miles that Nick was not allowed to travel past. There were so many unknowns at this time and big questions, including how long will this pandemic last? Through prayerful consideration as to what was best to do, we decided it was best to go through with a wedding ceremony even if we didn’t have a clue as to what it would look like at the time. We wanted to live together and start our lives together as one. Nick was expected to complete his term in the military and we knew a move was in the near future. We took a leap of faith that this would be the best option for us, and God provided abundantly for us as we formulated new plans. We had such a beautiful day and now we are looking to have another beautiful day to celebrate this union with all of our wonderful family and friends!
