We met at a friend's bar mitzvah at the beginning of 8th grade. By December of that year, we were dating! It was the epitome of junior high romance, complete with the horrific awkwardness of early adolescence. We made it all the way to 10th grade before Alanna called it quits and we went our separate ways (as separate as you can when you attend the same high school and are involved in many of the same activities). By the end of 10th grade, Alanna realized the error of her ways and it's been smooth sailing ever since! We have been so fortunate to share so many experiences together from first dances, first kiss (at Alanna's 15th birthday at Skate West), high school graduation, college marching band, to college graduation, and now our wedding. We are so thankful for all of the love and support around us and invite you to think back on some fun memories of us throughout the years!
