Our Wedding

Every love story has its own beginning, and ours began in the summer of 2016; unexpected, perfectly timed, and exactly what we both needed without even realizing it. From the moment we connected, there was an ease between us, a comfort, a spark, and a feeling of being understood. Nothing was forced. Everything just aligned.As our relationship grew, so did our bond, our loyalty, and our partnership. We learned each other’s strengths, dreams, and quirks, and we became a true team; supporting, encouraging, and choosing each other through every moment life brought. Even through the stress of life, obstacles, and hard times, we continued to choose one another, to stand together, and to support each other when it mattered most.Together, we’ve built a beautiful blended family that means everything to us. We welcomed our boys, TJ and Troy, who changed our world in the most incredible ways. Becoming parents together strengthened our bond, gave our relationship new meaning, and deepened our love in ways we never expected. And our girls, Khloe and Trevayah, have been part of our love story from the very beginning. Trevayah was five and Khloe was just one, but even at their young ages, they felt the love and happiness that surrounded us. They embraced our relationship long before we ever talked about forever, and they fell in love with the bond we were building as a family. Their acceptance and pure joy made our beginning even more special.And of course, our first “baby,” our dog, Sarabi, has been along for the entire journey since 2016. Loyal, loving, and part of every chapter we’ve written together.Together, all four of our children helped shape the family we are today. Blended, beautiful, loud, loving, and perfectly ours.Through every high and low, one thing has always remained clear: we choose each other, as partners, as parents, and as a family. We’ve built a life filled with love, chaos, growth, strength, and memories that have brought us to this moment.Now, we’re counting down to July 24, 2026, when we get to celebrate our love and unity surrounded by the people who mean the most to us.Our wedding day is more than a ceremony.It’s a celebration of love, family, resilience, and choosing each other forever.We can’t wait to share this special day with you.
