Thank You So Much

As some of you already know, we are choosing to have a private wedding. It will be just the two of us, but we wanted to invite everyone to celebrate and support us from afar by creating this website to share the exciting news, and provide easy access to our newlywed fund and marriage advice collection. Thank you in advance! We appreciate every single one of you beyond words.

Our Story

Anthony and I have known each other since high school and started dating the summer before my senior year - 2018. Our relationship started pretty quickly which I attribute to the lack of awkwardness when we started spending time together. We simply clicked, and from that point I knew there was no one else I wanted to have by my side through life. Anthony will tell anyone who asks about our relationship that I blew him off a few times before we started dating. I promise it was an accident. He would see on socials that I was visiting and would ask me to hang out... I would forget he asked until I was leaving at which point he would tell me he hoped I had a good time. Eventually, Anthony told our mutual friend to ask me to hang out with them multiple times so he could finally spend time with me. All that being said, it has been over six years since then and a lot has happened. We moved out of our parent's houses together, hosted friends for taco Tuesday, moved to Florida, changed jobs, traveled, adopted our baby Loki, and all the small moments in between. We have had the privilege of growing together since we were teenagers and we are very excited to continue to do that for the rest of our lives.
