We decided to meet for coffee, and what was supposed to be a quick first date turned into four hours talking in a Starbucks. Conversation came so naturally that neither of us wanted to leave.

In the year and a half since then, life has given us more than a few challenges. We have celebrated incredible moments, walked through heartbreaking ones, and learned that real love isn’t about finding someone perfect. It’s about choosing each other every single day, especially when life gets hard.

Our shared faith, love for our families, and the life we want to build together have brought us closer with every season. We’ve learned to grow together, laugh together, and love each other more deeply than we thought possible.

Today isn’t about having a perfect love story. It’s about celebrating a real one. One built on faith, commitment, grace, and a whole lot of coffee, laughter, and choosing each other. We’re so thankful you’re here to celebrate this next chapter with us.
