Our love story began during the summer of 2013 with a 2-on-2 basketball game against Rickey’s brother and my best friend followed by a late night dinner. The connection was instant and we spent the next few weeks bonding over our love for animals, sports, movies & our shared basketball number: 4. We quickly discovered that our interests, values & goals aligned and decided to make it official September 1st, 2013. From that day forward we worked on our relationship, and through the good and bad days remained loyal and in love. With the addition of our cats, Belle, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor and our dog, Kuzco, we have developed a loving family dynamic that we are thrilled to continue for years to come. Nine years worth of memories later and we are now engaged! We became fiances on June 20th 2020 in the Upper Peninsula on a golf trip to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. We can’t wait to say “I do” at the same location where we attended Rickey’s senior prom and to spend this day surrounded by all of our favorite people who have showed us ongoing love and support!
