To allow the guests to relax and enjoy themselves, we politely request no children at our wedding.

We went to the same high school all four years but didn't know each other very well. Our best friends were dating and formally introduced us to each other. We ended up talking right out of high school and by September we were dating.

We had just spent a long weekend in West Virginia celebrating my father's wedding. We had some last-minute family pictures to take on Monday and everyone was stressed out. Isaiah was taking the pictures for us along with my little sister's boyfriend, Colin, when my mom stepped out of the photo to see how they were turning out. She took the phone from Isaiah, and he came up to me and got down on one knee. I thought he was joking as he loves to tell me often that "it's going to be a while until we get married," so I was VERY surprised. It was a great moment with my all of my siblings there to celebrate. It definitely earned him some brownie points with the family.

Isaiah hopes to run a full-time photography business. He started fall 2023 with family pictures for friends and coworkers, and quickly became very successful. He hopes to continue to grow his business and customers as well as his skill. We are also working to save for a house and settle down.

Isaiah is currently working in HVAC at Stark Heating and Cooling and Lilly is a parts specialist for Rytec Corporation. We are pretty busy working full time, but we make time for hobbies. Our hobbies include snowboarding, riding our motorcycles, tennis, and golf. We have two four-legged kids - Rex and Cheezit. Isaiah has also started his own photography business, Instilled Images. We plan on getting a house in 2025 and building our future together.
