Our story began at CMA CGM, a steamship line in Norfolk, VA, where we worked together on several projects. What started as a working relationship, quickly grew into a friendship that blossomed into something more. During the middle of the COVID lockdown, we spent more time getting to know each other, and fell in love. Our bond grew over our shared love of music, movies, and animals. James quickly became fond of Allison's cat (who’s now our cat!), and we later adopted two dogs, Turbo and Ziggy. Together, we moved from Hampton Roads, VA to Rock Hill, SC to start new jobs in Charlotte, NC. And now, we’re building our life together—one filled with laughter, love, and adventure.

We will be tying the knot in a private wedding ceremony on the morning of Friday, May 2nd on family property that has been passed down through generations. Afterward, we’re thrilled to celebrate with all of you at Seven Sisters Brewery in Wytheville, VA, graciously hosted by Allison’s brother, Cameron. We can't wait to share this unforgettable day with you!
