Stephens Wedding

In a time when the world stood still, theirs quietly began. During the COVID-19 pandemic when everything was shut down and connection felt out of reach. Tommy and Anissa found each other anyway. He was attending UCSB, she was studying online at ASU, and somehow, timing worked in their favor. Their first official date was in Solvang, California where they drove backroads and got to know each others story better. After a few dates and time spent together, Tommy made it official on July 17, 2021, and the rest, as they say, fell into place. In 2022, they took a leap of faith where they moved in & began building a life together. Since then, they’ve called three cities home, welcomed their beloved fur baby Dixie into the family, and created a life filled with laughter, resilience, and a little bit of chaos. With their families on opposite ends, his North and hers South. They’ve spent the years traveling back and forth, trying to never miss a moment worth celebrating. On February 28, 2026, Tommy returned to where it all began, knowing there was no better place to start forever. Through every mile, every move, and every moment in between, they’ve chosen each other And now, their greatest chapter is just beginning. On July 4th, 2026 surrounded by the people they love most, they will join together as one, promising forever as they say their “I do’s.”
