Where love, joy, and a little magic come together

Our story began long before we could remember. Back when we were just kids in diapers growing up in the same neighborhood. Our moms were friends, and what started as a childhood connection naturally grew as we spent our early years side by side, sharing the same community and experiences. As we got older, our bond continued to evolve. In middle school, we shared our first relationship with each other, becoming each other’s first boyfriend and girlfriend. Though that chapter eventually came to an end, we remained close friends and continued to be a part of each other’s lives over the years. After high school, life took us in different directions, but our paths still crossed at the annual “Do the Wright Thing” softball tournament. Those moments became something we both looked forward to. A chance to reconnect, catch up, and be reminded of the history we shared. After years apart, we reconnected in a meaningful way. By July of 2023, we began talking regularly, and our connection quickly deepened. What started as conversations soon grew into something more, leading to a long-distance relationship with Jasmine in Arizona and Justice, along with his daughter Aetheria, in Kansas. In February of 2024, we officially began dating, embracing the challenges and strength that came with long distance. Just a few months later, in May of 2024, Justice and Aetheria made the move to Arizona to begin their next chapter together as a family. In May of 2025, their journey came full circle when Justice proposed at the elementary school playground where we had spent so much time together during our middle school relationship. A meaningful and nostalgic place that reflects how far we've come while honoring where it all began. Now, in May of 2026, we are excited to celebrate our wedding and the lifelong commitment that began with a childhood friendship and grew into a lasting love story. Please join us as we celebrate our marriage with a reception on September 5, 2026!
