Our story began in 2020 when Ally and Loren's paths unexpectedly crossed. Even though we started as friends we instantly “got” each other from the very beginning. In early 2021, our relationship officially blossomed, though it took a bit for us to become “official”. We can both be timid when it comes to our feelings, leading to Ally declaring that we were now dating, despite us effectively being a couple well before that date. As we have grown together, we have built a profound bond and a lively family dynamic. With seven wonderful children between us, our adventures as a blended family are filled with joy and laughter, and plenty of chaos. Becoming a blended family has not always been easy, but we could not picture it now any other way. Each of our kids very unique personalities make each day far from boring. Together we have embraced the beautiful journey of love, partnership, and family life. We have faced (many) challenges and celebrated victories, growing stronger with each experience. Our strong connection has often been noticed by others, being described as nearly palpable. Now, as we prepare to exchange vows, we are thrilled to honor not only our love but also the remarkable family we've built together. Here’s to a future filled with love, laughter, and endless adventures!
