Back in 2018, at an Olive Garden in Florida, fate (and a poorly aimed dish rinse) brought us together. He was the quiet dishwasher in the back. I was the bustling server with hair freshly done—until he accidentally sprayed water into it. Let’s just say, I wasn’t thrilled. But somehow, between pasta bowls, breadsticks, and a little nudging from our partners-in-crime, Samantha and Kasii, something magical began to simmer. We started talking. Then laughing. Then spending almost every free moment together. And like a perfectly timed dinner service, our love story unfolded. Since then, we’ve taken on life side by side—from Florida to Philadelphia and now Georgia. Each move brought its own chapter: the hustle of new jobs, navigating COVID together in Philly, floating up the coast of Florida, and weekend escapes to Jersey. Through it all, we were each other’s constant. We’ve road-tripped down long highways with our son Dallas curled up in the front seat, and even longer playlists on repeat. We’ve worked together, supported each other, and built a life that’s equal parts adventure and quiet comfort. Somewhere along the way, love expanded boldly and beautifully. Ivion and Harmonii (and the rest of the gang) became a part of my heart just as naturally as he did. From little smiles to big moments, they've brought a deeper kind of joy into our journey. Blending our lives hasn't just been about us- it's been about becoming family. Some days we’re opposites—like ying and yang—but somehow, we balance each other perfectly. He’s my Pumpkin (even if he pretends to hate that nickname), and I’m the calm to his storm, or maybe the storm to his calm. Most of the time, it’s just us. And that’s more than enough. Friday, October 17th, surrounded by everyone we love and with a heart full of gratitude, we’re saying forever—in boho chic, with a little glam, a little soul, and a whole lot of love.
