Every single one of you have played a part in our story. We were both born in LA, but met while we were thousands of mile apart. Was it crazy to fall in love during a deployment overseas? Probably. But we knew we had to embrace our crazy story. It was the best decision we have ever made. Love requires a lot of chances, second chances, sacrifices, endurance, patience, and kindness. Having both lived very different lives with two very different backgrounds and stories we came to love the other deeply for who they were and how they persevered through it all. We are so thankful for your presence in our lives and celebrating our love story.
