Our Wedding

Our story started when we met on a dating website in December of 2019 at Oklahoma State. After a brief and direct conversation, we decided to go on our first date at a small Chinese restaurant in Stillwater, OK. From there, the rest is history. We enjoyed many coffee and dinner dates during our unknowingly last few months of school (thanks Covid!). Shortly after, one was moving to Houston, and Tara loved the idea of moving to Texas. After one COVID lockdown and two years of long distance, we both reunited in Houston, where we've been living down the road from each other ever since. Through many dates at Astros games, way too much Tex Mex food, and tons of adventures along the way, the joy that we share with each other continues to lead us closer to each other and to Jesus. We cannot wait to share this joy with you on November 22, 2025!
