In 2013, fate brought us together, and from the moment we met, there was an undeniable connection. Our journey as a couple began quickly and was filled with countless adventures that solidified our bond. By the end of that year, we took a leap of faith and moved to Louisville, KY, where we faced the challenges of living together and working hard to build a life.

In 2017, our lives changed forever with the arrival of our beautiful daughter, Anya. Like all new parents, we were unsure of how to navigate this new chapter, but together, we learned and grew. Anya has been our greatest teacher, helping us to become a family and showing us the true meaning of unconditional love.

Through the years, we have faced numerous hardships, both individually and as a couple. Yet, each challenge has only strengthened our bond and deepened our commitment to one another. We have been each other's number one support, and with God's guidance, we have overcome the improbable and even the impossible.

A few years ago, we decided to move to the beach, seeking a life with less chaos and more stability and opportunity. After a lot of hard work and divine intervention, we reached a place of financial stability, routine, and finally felt "grown-up" (well, kinda). It was during this period of tranquility that we felt it was the perfect time to get engaged and start planning our wedding. However, life had more surprises in store for us. We soon discovered that we were expecting another child. Our joy was tempered by the news that our little girl, Zena, had serious health issues that tragically lead to her passing.

Amidst this heartache, we faced many other changes, challenges, and blessings. Through it all, our love for each other has remained steadfast. We have learned to love each other in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer. Our journey has been a testament to the power of love, faith, resilience, and the One who is the giver of these things.

This October, we are excited to celebrate our love and make a lifelong promise to each other, our friends and family, and to God. We are grateful for the support and love we have received from everyone and look forward to sharing this special day with all of you.
