Our Wedding

We’ve known each other since middle school. Braden had a crush (and yes — Rachel knew), but neither of us did anything about it until junior year of high school, when we finally started dating. During high school, we spent a lot of time skateboarding, hammocking, and just hanging out — nothing fancy, but it was ours. We both went on to attend Miami University, where Rachel bartended and Braden was on the cheer team. College brought plenty of challenges and growth, but we tackled them together — and had a lot of fun along the way. After graduating, we got engaged in August 2025 and are excited for everything ahead. From middle school hallways to college campuses to where we are now, it’s been a long time coming — and we’re so glad to have you with us as we celebrate.
