We’re getting married!

It all started at the University of Dayton, where Cary and Xander's paths crossed through a mutual friend. Neither one expected that a simple introduction would lead to the adventure of a lifetime, but when you're destined to meet, the universe has a way of making it happen. Xander, always the thoughtful and a little shy type, knew he had to make his intentions clear—so he did what any confident, romantic soul would do: he wrote her a note. A note that would become the first of many gestures that would define their relationship. He nervously handed it to Cary, asking her out in the sweetest, most sincere way possible. Little did he know, that note would be something Cary would carry with her everywhere—literally. It’s still tucked safely in her wallet, a small but constant reminder of their beginning. From that day forward, their connection grew stronger. They shared laughter, late-night talks, and countless memories that would set the foundation for a love that would only deepen with time. As life’s twists and turns brought them closer, it became clear: this was no ordinary love. Now, after years of growing, learning, and loving, Cary and Xander are ready to begin their next chapter. Together, they’ve created a love story filled with warmth, kindness, and the kind of magic that only comes when two hearts are meant to be together. They’re thrilled to invite you to celebrate their journey, and to witness the next chapter of their story as they say “I do.”
