This love story began in New York City on Australia New Zealand Army Corps Day 2018. We were each being honored with reciprocal graduate school scholarships for our military service through the American Australian Association (AAA). In addition to once in a lifetime educational opportunities, we also happened to have found each other. While the AAA probably did not intend to be a dating service, the organization encourages the development of international relations, diplomacy, and mate-ship between Australia and the U.S. Okay yeah we took it to an extreme, but hey we’re living those values! We bonded over our service, experiences, and passions. Neither of us could have imagined this wonderful life that we’ve built together, but after 4 years of loving each other, regardless of where we are in life or in the world, we’re ready to celebrate our love and union with our family and friends. So, we humbly ask for the pleasure of your company at our wedding on January 7, 2023 in Nashville, TN.
