A Note About Little Ones

Our Wedding

It all started in a small college town River Falls, Wisconsin where fate brought us together during our time in school. What began as a friendship quickly blossomed into something more. That moment marked the beginning of something truly special.Over the years, we’ve grown together through life’s many twists and turns. Our journey hasn’t always been easy. We faced our fair share of long-distance stretches, late-night calls, and countdowns to the next time we’d be in the same place. But through every challenge, our connection only grew stronger.In November, Tommy made the easiest decision of his life—asking Sam to marry him. It was a moment filled with love, excitement, and a deep sense of knowing we were exactly where we were meant to be.Now, we’ve planted roots together in Buffalo, Minnesota, where we’ve made our first house a home. It’s where our next chapter begins, and we couldn’t be more grateful for every step that brought us here. We can't wait to celebrate October 17th with all of you, and establish this date as our "forever anniversary."
