Day After Celebration at Jim Heckmans

Our Wedding

And the rest is history! We met through a FaceTime call. Sort of like, right place, right time, type of thing. We then went on to text, call and FaceTime each other constantly. And shortly after that, every weekend one of us was in the car, crossing state lines, just to get a full 24 hours with each other. After many trips and many miles, we decided that long distance wasnt going to keep us apart from each other anymore. Abby made the jump to move to Ohio to be with Thomas. During the process of the move, we decided to add a little more craziness into the mix and get a golden retriever puppy named Millie. As we began to live and build a life together, we soon realized that we never wanted to be without one another ever again. One thing that Thomas knew about Abby was that she wanted to get engaged with her family around. On Good Friday in 2024, Thomas got down on one knee at her parents house and asked Abby to spend the rest of their lives together. At first she couldnt stop saying SHUT UP! because she was so shocked, but after that, she couldnt stop saying yes. We have truly had the best time planning our special day and we are so excited to have you there to celebrate with us! We are excited to have you be a witness to our newest and most exciting chapter as we start our new roles and lives as husband + wife! We love you!

It All Started With A FaceTime...

Before the wedding (and right next to the hotel!) you could go grab a drink at one of our favorite spots! It’s a sports bar that has great food and drinks!
