Wedding Day

Our Wedding

We started as friends in high school, two people who always seemed to notice each other. Life pulled us in different directions and for years we would remain as friends that would always light up when we would run into each other. Ten years later, we reconnected at a music festival in Michigan. Our moments together felt both new and strangely like home. What we found that night grew into something we had both unknowingly been waiting for. Since 2017, our love has taken shape in the real, everyday moments like building a home, raising our daughter, and learning how to move through life as a team. Through all of our phases, we became a family. ❤️ Looking towards marriage feels emotional in a way that’s hard to put into words. It’s not just about the day, it’s about everything that has brought us here. Our love feels like something that’s been growing quietly in the background for years and it is finally ready to be celebrated! ❤️
