We can’t wait to celebrate our marriage with you!

Our love story began back in October 2018, when my PA school rotation brought me to Panama City, Florida. What was supposed to be a typical clinical experience quickly changed course when Hurricane Michael struck. I was relocated to Panama City Beach, unaware of what fate had in store for me. Looking for a bit of routine amidst all the changes, I joined Sequence Fitness. That’s where I first saw Dorian—confident and friendly he immediately caught my attention. Just one week before I was set to return to Pittsburgh, he came up and introduced himself. Though our time together was short, it was meaningful. Despite being over 1,000 miles apart, we kept in touch. Through distance, a pandemic, and life’s many twists, our connection never faded. Dorian eventually moved to Charleston, WV, and then made his way to Pittsburgh—where we built a life together with our dog, Dice. What began as an unexpected encounter by the beach has grown into a love rooted in friendship, distance, patience, and fate. Now, we can’t wait to begin this next chapter surrounded by the people who mean the most to us!
