Dave would say our story began in Washington D.C. in 2013 when we first met and he "fell in love at first sight", or so he says. But truly our journey began in 2017 after months of traveling the country together for work and sharing the most incredible experiences we began dating and continued making amazing memories. After 3 years of many adventures, learning and growing together Dave proposed in January 2020. Like any eager, new fiancé I began planning the big day, and- well- we all know what happened just 2 months later! The world shutdown and we faced some of our biggest challenges ever, as a society and as a couple. Then, to our surprise, God blessed us with Baby Ivory, which we discovered in June 2020. We decided we wanted to be officially married before Ivory arrived so we had a "courthouse style" wedding in our NJ home. As most of you know, she was born 10.5 weeks early in December 2020 and that, once again, sent Dave & I on an incredibly difficult journey of navigating not only new parenthood together, but also our pain, trauma and healing as well. So here we are: almost 3 years after the proposal and almost 2 years after getting married on paper- we will finally have our "big day" and now we will be celebrating SO much more than we could have even imagined 3 years ago! We are delighted to share in our joy with you, this amazingly beautiful and special moment of our lives, the celebration of not just our love, but our unique journey and all it encompassed to make it to this day!
