Not long before the start of summer in 2019, Whitney gathered up all the courage he could to ask Arianna out on a date. Believe it or not, he simply sent her a Instagram DM about wanting to grab some food together… And believe it or not, she said yes. With their mutual love for chicken nuggets at the time and teenager budget, neither of them knew that those little dates to Wendy's would turn into a lifetime full of love, laughter, and success. From then on they have been inseparable and unstoppable. Watching each other grow and learn from one another as they embark on their adult journey with love leading the way. They have had each other throughout it all, and through the grace of God they always will. Ari and Whit have had so much support along the way, and that comes from all of you! With open arms and hearts, each of you has supported their love making it feel stronger each day and helping them feel like this was always meant to be. So it would be an absolute pleasure for you all to witness them say "I do", and join them for the ceremony of a lifetime.

“I'm going to love from the soles of my feet from every place I've ever been, the supermarket parking lot, the dance floor, my vegetable garden, all the kitchens, the beds & dream veils, so that when I enter my beloved all that I am enters with me & all my beloved is enters me— this is how I want to know love—through the gentle pain of experience, because birds never ask is this song rivers never ask is the ocean this way.” - Roberto Carlos Garcia “It's an extraordinary thing to meet someone who you can bare your soul to, and who will accept you for what you are. I've been waiting, what seems like a very long time, to get beyond what I am. And now… I feel like I can finally begin… No measure of time with you will be long enough, but let's start with forever.” - Edward Cullen
