Our Wedding

The way we met, speaks to our generation. TINDERELLA. We both swiped right and since then we have been inseparable. We have been together since September 2020. By 2022 we were living together. Later that year we bought our first house. In April 2023 we brought Luna home! (for those of you that don't know, she is our dog!). Marco proposed June 21, 2025 at Lavender Farms in Sparta. He had taken me out to dinner at a fancy Italian restaurant in Port Stanley and then we headed over to the lavender farm. Once there, I noticed that no one was there. Marco assured me that it was fine and it wasn't a problem that we were on the property. We start walking around and we arrive at a seating area with a basket sitting there. I inspected the basket to see champagne, champagne glasses, and a bundle of lavender. I then turned around and Marco was on one knee and proposed. I ecstatically said YES. Marco's sister, Grace, was there to capture the whole thing. Once we left the farm to return home, when we arrived some of our local friends and family were there. They had decorated our house for a surprise engagement part! Since then we have been wedding planning! We are so excited to celebrate our love story with everyone.
