Our Love Story❤️

(Still Afloat After All These Years) ⚓️

We met in 1991 in Michigan. High school brought us together, art class sealed the deal, and before we knew it, we eloped—because when you know, you know. We raised two amazing kids, survived the Navy (proof our marriage can handle long deployments, unexpected moves, and life on a Navy schedule), lived in several states, and traveled the world together along the way. Like any real love story, ours hasn’t been perfect but we chose each other, learned, grew, and kept moving forward together. Now we’re proud grandparents to two beautiful granddaughters, and after all the moves, memories, adventures, and miles traveled, we’re still standing, still laughing and still each other’s best friend. So here we are, renewing our vows not because we have to, but because after all these years, we still want to. We’ve crossed oceans, chased new horizons, and built a life full of love and laughter. We would love for our family and our friends to join us to celebrate this Special anniversary with us. Your support means a lot to us.
