Our Wedding

It all started in the Fall of 2020, when Shelby and Richie met at a mutual friend's college party. What began as a simple conversation (over football) quickly blossomed into something we both knew was special. From our first date at Circle 7 Ranch, to traveling together, supporting each other through life's ups and downs, and building a life filled with love and laughter — every step of the journey has brought us closer together. After 5 years of love, adventure, and good memories, Richie popped the question at her parents' house, and of course, she said yes! We are so excited to begin this next chapter of our lives as husband and wife, and we can't wait to celebrate this special day with all of you — our favorite people.
