Almost eight years ago, we went on our first date, and from that moment on, everything just felt easy. What started as an instant connection quickly turned into a relationship filled with laughter, adventure, and a shared love for making memories together. A few months after we started dating, we took our first big trip together to Lake Louise in Banff during the middle of winter. With temperatures close to -20°, we somehow still managed to have the best time and quickly realized we could get through just about anything together. Since then, life has been full of adventures, both big and small. Over the years, we’ve explored Utah and Arizona, taken quick trips like flying to Chicago for less than 24 hours just to see a concert, and made countless memories during our many trips to Disneyland. No matter where we go, we always have the best time simply being together. Somewhere along the way, our little family grew with the addition of Marley and Cove, who have completely stolen our hearts and made life even more fun. As much as we love celebrating with the people we care about, we realized that what felt most like us was keeping things simple and intimate. We decided to elope and celebrate surrounded by our immediate family, focusing on what matters most to us: our love, our commitment, and starting this next chapter together. We are so excited for this next adventure together and grateful for all the love and support from our family and friends along the way.
