Our Story
Annalise and William’s story began with a brief encounter at Shippensburg University in 2020, though neither could have imagined where life would take them. It wasn’t until 2022, when William returned home from his deployment in Egypt, that their paths crossed again—and this time, everything changed.
As they finished college together and William began his journey at the Pennsylvania State Police Academy, they faced the challenge of long distance. Through every mile apart, one conversation remained constant: their dreams of building a future together and one day becoming husband and wife.
After graduation, Annalise accepted a teaching position in Royersford and made the decision to leave her hometown behind to start a new chapter with William in West Chester. In 2025, they purchased their first home together and live with their dog, Mabel, a lovable Great Pyrenees they adopted.
They can't wait to say "I do" surrounded by the people who mean the most to them.
