How We Met

October 7, 2023

Funnily enough, our story began with the modern matchmaker itself — online dating. Just when both of us were about ready to give the app one last scroll, fate decided to step in and make us a match! We matched, started chatting, and something just clicked right away — no awkward small talk, no ghosting, no weird “so what are you looking for?” moments. Just two people realizing how much they had in common and how easy it felt to be together — and before long, we were inseparable. What started as a simple swipe turned into the most beautiful journey together, filled with laughter, love, and so many adventures still to come.

The Proposal

December 20, 2025

Our engagement story begins in Atlanta, Georgia — one of our favorite places to soak up a little adventure and a lot of joy. We spent the weekend doing what we love most: exploring nerdy conventions, visiting aquariums, enjoying amazing food, and ending the night under the sparkling holiday lights at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. After a perfect dinner, we wandered through the gardens, surrounded by a canopy of trees draped in thousands of twinkling lights. It felt like we had stepped into a fairytale. At one point, I turned to Sean to say, “This is my favorite thing we’ve ever done together,” completely unaware of what was about to happen. We stopped to take some photos, and as I began to move away, Sean said, “Wait, just one more.” When I turned around, he was kneeling and looking up at me with the sweetest smile. My heart stopped for a moment before overflowing with joy. It was the easiest — and most beautiful — “yes” of my life.

Our "First" Wedding

January 24, 2026

On a beautiful winter day, surrounded by our immediate family, Sean and I officially tied the knot! This was held outdoors at a park in Greenville, SC. It was a small, intimate ceremony—simple, sweet, and absolutely perfect in every way. As special as that day was, we’re so excited to do it all over again—this time with all of our favorite people there to celebrate with us! We can’t wait to laugh, dance, and make even more unforgettable memories with everyone we love.
