Summer

Our Wedding

Josh and Sarah had both said “yes” to a casual drink at the Porch in Phoenix, not knowing they were about to say “yes” to the rest of their lives. What began as a conversation over cocktails quickly turned into a realization: they had more in common than either of them expected. Both spending summers in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Somehow, life waited until they each made their way to Arizona to bring them together. From swapping stories about hometown summers to discovering a shared love for adventure, Josh and Sarah instantly felt like they'd known each other forever. Their paths finally crossed in the desert, and it didn’t take long for them to know they’d found something truly special.They can’t wait to celebrate with you!
