We met thanks to our wonderful friends, Jaclyn and Stan, at a time in our lives when neither of us was searching for anything new. As a single mom and a single dad, our worlds revolved around our boys, and our hearts were focused on simply showing up for them each day. Love wasn’t part of the plan — but sometimes the best things in life find you when you least expect them.From the very beginning, there was something easy and natural between us. What started as casual conversations and shared laughs quickly grew into a deep friendship. We leaned on each other, supported one another through life’s chaos, and found comfort in knowing we weren’t doing it all alone anymore. Before long, that friendship turned into something undeniable — a connection that felt like home. We became inseparable, building a love rooted in trust, laughter, and understanding.Our journey took a beautiful turn when Dillon proposed on our very first cruise together — a moment filled with surprise, joy, and the kind of happiness you wish you could freeze in time. It was the perfect reflection of us: unexpected, meaningful, and full of love.Since then, we’ve built a life that means everything to us — a strong, beautiful blended family with our five incredible boys at the center of it all. Together, we’ve created a home filled with laughter, support, and unconditional love.On August 8, 2026, we can’t wait to stand side by side, promise each other forever, and celebrate not just our love, but the life we’ve already begun building together. This is only the beginning of our next chapter — and we’re so excited to spend the rest of our lives together.
