It all began with a simple conversation, a passing compliment about Brian’s captivating blue eyes. Fast forward two years, and that man with the beautiful eyes is about to become my husband.

From countless vacations and sporting events to family gatherings, we’ve shared so many incredible moments. But one of the most unforgettable has to be the night we sat on the back patio, still learning about each other. With a glass of wine in hand and the warmth of the fireplace, we talked until sunrise—about our dreams, our hopes, and the lives we wanted to build. Somewhere in between the laughter and the silliness of showing each other different ways to lace a sneaker, something magical happened.

It may sound simple, even silly, but that night was the foundation of our love story—a night filled with joy, connection, and the first pages of what will now be our forever.
