Our Wedding

Our story started poolside—literally. He was cleaning my parents’ pool, and somehow that turned into texts, dates, and eventually… this website. We’ve been together for almost two years now, and in that time we’ve bonded over our love of trying new foods, taking “adventure walks” (which is just a fancy way of saying we get lost on purpose), hanging out with his boys, and obsessing over all things sports. We laugh a lot, love hard, and feel pretty lucky we found each other in such an unexpected way. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you—preferably with good food and zero pool cleaning involved.

Our Story

Meghan or as I know her “Meg,” is my best friend from childhood. We cheered together in high school, weirdly chose the same college and here we are 13ish years later and still best friends.

Kat is my college bestie, turned life long bestie. Who would’ve known meeting at a social club party that we’d be best friends 10 years later?

Colby Darrow 

This is Derrecks oldest son. The life of the party, the jokester of any occasion. You won’t miss him, all 5’6 of him will be on the dance floor all night, entertaining everyone.

Doak Ratcliff 

Z is the baby, sometimes called “lil bae.” He’s all things sports and a little shy at first, but he’ll warm right up to the everyone.
