Instead of a traditional guestbook with signatures, we are doing an audio guestbook. We would love for everyone to call in and leave us a message, even if you are unable to attend the wedding. Simply call the number listed below, enter our invitation code when prompted, and you will be able to leave a message, up to 30 minutes long. When finished, you can hang up or press the # key. If you press #, you will be given options to listen to your recording, accept it, or re-record it. You will be able to call before, during, and/or after the wedding until October 1st. You can call in as many times as you wish! We would love to hear stories, memories, advice, or anything you can think of! We look forward to listening to these messages throughout our lives as our relationship grows. If you have more questions, please visit our FAQ page!

Joe and I first met in 2016 when we both worked at Pet Supplies Plus. We went to the same high school but never knew each other because Joe was a senior when I was a junior. We became fast friends and our relationship grew from there. Joe graduated high school in 2016 and went to Michigan State University to study Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. In 2017, I graduated high school and went to Oakland University to study nursing. During this time, we mostly saw each other on the weekends as we lived 1.5 hours away from each other. Despite the challenge, our relationship remained strong! Joe and I found out we were expecting in spring 2020 and Joe graduated shortly after. Joe started a job in a lab studying plants, and I continued with school. We welcomed baby Xavier on December 9, 2020! We were fortunate to be able to live together with our parents as I worked on finishing my degree. I graduated in spring 2021 and began my nursing career in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). We finally were able to move into our first home shortly after! Joe is now a stay-at-home dad, and we couldn't be happier with the life we have created for ourselves. We have been engaged since April 2020, but have had to push back our wedding due to school, caring for a newborn, and the pandemic. We are so excited to finally tie the knot on September 10, 2022, and celebrate with all of our friends and family.
