Our Wedding

Our story began on Valentine's Day 2022 at Atlanta Track Club. It was Denali's first day on the job, and as nervous as she was for the start of this chapter, she came face-to-face with Will (who had been working there for years) and immediately felt calm.After a few weeks and a handful of dates, Will asked Denali out before attending a concert for a small band called "Just Friends," which they now fully recognize the irony given the name of the band. Since then, we have grown into a dynamic duo both personally and professionally. We've become each others biggest fans and cheer each other on through our wildest dreams, from running marathons to conquering IRONMANs and more.On October 18, 2024, during a trip to Zion National Park, we hiked the most dangerous hike in America: Angel's Landing. We slowly and carefully climbed the narrow and steep trail, holding onto chains and praying not to misstep, eventually reaching a gorgeous stopping point with breathtaking views. There, Will got down on one knee and proposed, emphasizing that no matter what the highs and lows are in life, he wants to do it all with Denali.Now, four years into our relationship, we're extremely grateful for the life we've been building together and even more excited for the future. We can't wait to celebrate our love with our incredible family and friends, and we're especially grateful for those traveling from near and far to be a part of our special day!
