The first time I met Kierstin was on a Wednesday night over 15 years ago at Sunday School. She really knew how to make a good first impression; walking up to my two friends and I claiming she had a boyfriend. We were confused, but none of us realized that this would be the beginning of a life-long friendship with her. Through the years of growing up, from elementary to high school, we kept in touch and were always good friends. The following years after high school sent us on our own path of finding who we were, but always checking in on each other. Reuniting years later at a cold wintery Penn State University, we both knew we were ready to full fill the subconscious feelings we had for one and other. From that moment we spent several years together full of laughter, love and adventure. I knew from an early point in our relationship that I wanted Kierstin to be my wife. This led to me asking her to marry me on a beautiful beach in Maui on our so called "baecation" - lame. I would love to tell you how we felt in that moment, but I'm pretty sure we both blacked out overwhelmed with emotion. We now reside in the beautiful state of Texas where we bought our first home and made an addition to our family, our bright-eyed golden doodle - Gemma. There are many more years of joy waiting for us, finally as husband and wife. We can't wait to spend our special day with yinz'all!
