Our Wedding

We met in the first week of freshman year at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, IL. We quickly became friends and our entire friend group spent almost everyday together, We enjoyed all southern Illinois had to offer such as tailgating, hiking, attending all the Saluki basketball games, and just spending time laughing together in the dorms.

August 2014

After 7 years of being friends we decided to try being more than friends. Not only was moving past a friendship a hurdle but we were living 140 miles apart, Vivian in Chicago, IL and Corey in Fort Wayne, IN.

March 2021 

We finally got to start our lives together when Vivian moved to Fort Wayne after graduating from UIC College of Pharmacy. Since then we have spent our time enjoying Fort Wayne restaurants, going to numerous concerts, and traveling to places like California, Yellowstone, Paris and London.

May 2022

We got engaged at Vivian's favorite place, the Chicago lake front. Afterwards we got to celebrate with our closest family and friends. It was the perfect day!

August 2023 

We adopted our adorable best friend Phil.
