Nothing fancy — just love and an open bar.

💕 Our Story We first met on December 29, 2018, at our favorite local bar—The Shamrock. From the very start, we were instant friends and clicked in the most magical way. We finished each other’s sentences, laughed at the same jokes, and have been inseparable best friends ever since. In late 2020, Chad moved into the house on Front Street, and together we began building our life. We found peace and joy at the Cottage - Fisherman’s Cove, bought our first home together in 2021 (10.21.21), and on 9.9.22, we welcomed our greatest blessing—our daughter Maren. Then, on 2.22.22, Chad planned the perfect proposal at a butterfly atrium—knowing my love for numbers and butterflies made it simply unforgettable. It was a beautiful, magical moment, just like our love. We chose November 29, 2025—11.29.25—because all the numbers are odd, and that’s my favorite. Chad is just perfect for going along with my weirdness and loving every bit of it. Through every twist of life—loss, laughter, and love—we’ve grown stronger together. Where one of us falls short, the other lifts up. We are truly perfect for each other. Now, we’re getting married—nothing fancy, just love and an open bar. The ceremony will be at my mom’s church, St. John’s Episcopal in Franklin, where she’s not only my mom but also my maid of honor! The celebration continues at Billy’s (Oil City) with dancing, good food, and pure joy. And yes, Maren will be dancing her heart out.

We just want you to come, have fun, and celebrate with us! Gifts are absolutely not expected. That said, if you’d like to bring something, here are some meaningful options: 1) Toys for Tots Donation: Bring a new, unwrapped toy to brighten a child’s holiday. There will be a donation box at the reception, and the local Toys for Tots campaign will collect everything after the celebration. We’re happy to share more info if you’d like. 2) Monetary Gifts: Since we’ve built a life together and have most things we need, monetary gifts are always appreciated as we plan for our future and our honeymoon adventure. 3) A Combination of Both: Feel free to bring a toy and a monetary gift if you’re inspired to do so. You can truly bring whatever gift you want—just money is always cool! Above all, we appreciate you and that’s what matters most. Thank you for your love and support — we can’t wait to celebrate this special day with you!
