Our Wedding

Like many modern couples, we met on a dating app—equal parts curious and skeptical. Our first date was at The Muse Bourbon Bar for trivia, where Chris showed off his random knowledge and Whitney confidently guessed her way through. A quick pool lesson followed, and surprisingly, she wasn’t bad (at pool—or the date).   Things moved quickly from there. After a few great dates and family introductions, Chris made it official on Christmas Day 2023. Then, in February 2024, we got some unexpected but exciting news that our baby boy was on the way!   We celebrated with a Caribbean cruise in March for Whitney’s 30th, then in June, Chris proposed on Crescent Beach in St. Augustine—just barely catching the last bit of sunset. She said yes! Our son, Caleb James, arrived in October 2024 and completed our little family. Now, we’re excited to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
