We met on our first day of college at the University of Mount Union in Alliance, Ohio in a VERY fun freshman seminar for nerds who love to read, taught by none other than Dr. Michelle Collins-Sibley.

After over a year of friendship, some awkward moments and few late nights, we finally made it official and started off on our life-long adventure.

Our little family grew by one with the addition of our adorable pup (who some may call a bat-dog), Pippin. Named after the beloved Peregrin Took from The Lord of the Rings, Pippin lives up to her namesake by being an overall goof, and bringing joy & laughter to her humans.

7 years and 1 month after we first met, I came home to find Casey on one knee. With flowers, candles, and a brand new set of "Hubby" and "Wifey" mugs on the coffee table behind him, and a gorgeous ring in his hand, he asked me to marry him. After dropping all of my things and crying just a little bit, I said "Yes!" to the love of my life.

Our wedding planning was a long meandering path, much to the frustration of our loved ones, but we finally decided to get married during Devan's favorite season, FALL!
