We met in the Queen City in 2022, a chance encounter that turned into a beautiful journey filled with love, laughter, and adventure. From exploring the romantic streets of Italy to relaxing on the Carolina beaches, and exploring through the Swiss Alps, we’ve shared some unforgettable memories. But it’s the quiet moments—like those spent at Lake Jocassee and in Charlotte, where we met—that have helped us grow closer and deepen our connection. Along the way, we’ve been lucky to have families who have shown us what it means to build a strong, lasting relationship. The love, support, and wisdom they’ve shared has shaped the foundation of our relationship, teaching us the importance of communication, trust, and kindness. Their examples have shown us how to nurture a marriage that stands the test of time, and we’re so grateful to carry those lessons with us into our own future. Above all, we laugh. We laugh at life’s little moments, at the challenges we face, and even when we’re making our favorite meals together. Every day is an adventure, and we can’t wait to share this next chapter with our loved ones as we say “I do.”
