We're Getting Married!

Carlie loved him since the very first day she saw him—freshman year, wide-eyed and heart-eyed. It took Frank a little while, but eventually... he finally added her back on Snapchat. And from that moment on, it was all smiles, late-night talks, and falling more in love every day.

We began dating after realizing how much we enjoyed being together. What started simply grew into something meaningful, full of laughter, support, and a lot of love.

We officially became high school sweethearts, growing together through every season of life. Frank graduated a year ahead and began working, while Carlie finished high school and then started her journey at college for nursing. Even with different schedules and new beginnings, our love never wavered—it’s only grown stronger with time.

We got engaged shortly after graduation—just two young kids, 18 and 19, thinking we had it all figured out (turns out, we kind of did!). Frank popped the question at sunrise on the beach, and even though Carlie was barely awake, she said yes without hesitation. It was sweet, simple, and totally us—sand, nerves, and all.

We’re happiest just spending time together — whether it’s something big or something simple. We love going to drive-in movies, having dinner dates, watching our favorite TV series (and starting new ones even when we haven’t finished the last), and relaxing at the beach. Shopping and gift-giving are also a big part of our time together — we love surprising each other with little things that show we care. You can also find us exploring new places, baking, dancing at concerts, crafting things together (yes, we’re that couple at the craft store), or just enjoying a quiet night at home. No matter what we’re doing, we’re grateful for every moment we get to share — and we can’t wait to make even more memories as husband and wife.

One of us is the better fisher, the other is better at moral support. And it's not who you think it is ;) When we first started talking, Carlie studied the entire Ravens lineup so we'd have more things to talk about. Now, football season is a shared hobby we both look forward to. Frank got sun poisoning a month into dating at the pool. Carlie has been his official sunscreen manager ever since. We are getting married on the same day we started dating! It will be our 6 year anniversary.
