Our Wedding

From different cities to building a life together, our story has been nothing short of unexpected and beautiful. We met in 2021 through mutual friends while Stormy was living in Nashville and John Thomas was living in Cleveland. Despite the distance, we quickly realized we had found something special in each other.In April 2023, our greatest adventure began when we welcomed our baby boy into the world. Becoming parents only strengthened the love and partnership we had built together. In September 2025, John Thomas proposed, and of course, Stormy said yes!Now, we’re so excited to celebrate the next chapter of our story with our family and closest friends in beautiful Colorado Springs in October 2026. We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you!
