We said "I do!" 3.16.25

As a way to include all our dear family and friends who are unable to attend due to our Elopement preference and timeframe, we've setup a voicemail line to take messages and later we will be making a Vinyl Keepsake with these. 💖 It would mean the world to us no matter your connection to us if you would leave us a quick message(s) when you read this or on the date, with a funny memory, advice, congrats, or vlog us up (we have been!) We will keep the line open for a few weeks post-elopement but the more the better (we've got a LOT of space to fill in the vinyl!)

Our love story began in the online game League of Legends. We always played together, at the same time and rank, and I quickly realized our connection was special, extending beyond the game. I often referred to Carol as my "1 in a million divine gift." As our connection deepened, Carol asked if I wanted to be in a relationship. Although I wasn't initially interested in a relationship, I cherished every moment with her. Over time, I couldn't deny my growing feelings. Recognizing the quality of her heart and the beauty she radiates, I realized I had fallen in love with her. I'm truly grateful for my "1 in a million" gift: Carol.

It's hard to capture all the little moments when you're gamers dating long distance but there are so many precious memories that are hard to capture & share: The time I went to the League of Legends Semifinals and messaged Mae (Angel) all event as we watched together (him on livestream) and cheered for opposite teams! The fact that every time he's around me and my dogs that he's allergic to that he still teaches Dapper a new trick every visit and makes them jump around every time he says hi through the phone. The difficult times Angel stood by me and was patient with me when I was grieving my grandfather's passing. The hard times after I lost my job and my life was in shambles. Comforting me during the scare when my dog had a lump removed and had complications and long recovery. The political times and navigating this world and relationships. I can never be appreciative enough. The way he continues to call me sweet names the same way he did years ago. The flowers and little random gift surprises for any occasion and chocolates when I'm going through it. And the cute arts when he's thinking of me. 💘 I love you "Mae" Angel 💖
