Some love stories are fast-ours is the slow and steady kind. We've known each other for over 14 years. We raised children the same age in the same small town, cheering from the same bleachers, waving from across the same parking lots, and offering support during the highs and lows of parenting. For years, we were simply friends-until life slowed down just enough for us to realize there could be more. Falling in love later in life has been one of the sweetest surprises. It's a love rooted in friendship, seasoned by experience, and strengthened by time. We're so grateful to have found each other in this chapter-and even more grateful to celebrate it with the people who've been part of our story. We can't wait to share this special day with you.
