Our Story

From Disney Cast Members to Adventure Buddies for Life!

It was the Fall of 2016, and we both moved to Orlando, FL to become cast members at Walt Disney World in the Disney College Program. Jessica was forced to change her role from Front Desk to Photopass Photographer by the company a few months before move-in day, due to cuts being made at the resorts. There were only about 20 Photopass Photographers selected for this semester out of the roughly 7,000 cast members hired. Out of these 20, only two were selected to work at Hollywood Studios, and that was us! While training and working together in the Most Magical Place on Earth, we became great friends. This friendship led us to attending Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party together. We dressed as Carl and Ellie from Up!, a movie we loved so much and spent hours talking about together. The time we spent at the Halloween Party was so much fun and it is where we began to build our connection. On the way back to the parking lot on the tram, Ethan put his arm around Jessica, and the rest is history! On October 5, 2016, Ethan asked Jessica to be his girlfriend while walking around at the Grand Floridian. Four years, two dogs, living in two different states, and many fun adventures later, we got engaged! August 1, 2020, Ethan proposed at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa right before Jessica's birthday brunch. This is a spot that means so much to us and a moment we will never forget. Now, we are so excited to enjoy our Up! themed fall wedding just three days before our 5 year anniversary! We are looking forward to our greatest adventure and the opportunity to share our love with all our family and friends!
