Our journey began long before we even realized it. Having known each other since we were babies, our lives have always been intertwined. Little did we know that our childhood connection would one day lead us to this moment—finally saying "I do" after 12 incredible years of dating! What makes our story even more special is the deep bond between our families. Our mothers were friends in school, and in fact, Taylor's mother was even my mother's maid of honor. It feels like fate brought us together, and the connections run even deeper than we could have imagined. We’ve also been lucky enough to share the same best friend since elementary school—Jesse—who has been by our side through all of life’s ups and downs. Our small circle of friends has remained strong since childhood, and we are so grateful that they’re here to share this day with us. From the very beginning, we’ve had the support of our closest friends and family, and we can’t wait to continue creating memories with them as we start this new chapter together. We’ve been engaged for five years, and during that time, we’ve laughed, cried, and planned every little detail of this day. The anticipation has been building, and we can’t express how thrilled we are to finally take this step together, surrounded by the people who have supported us throughout our lives. Now, for those who know me, they know that I’m a huge Harry Potter fan, and I’ve always loved the magic of the Wizarding World. Taylor, knowing exactly how much this means to me, made that dream come true in the most amazing way. He proposed to me at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, creating a moment I will never forget. Most people might say that Taylor isn’t the most romantic, but when he is, he definitely exceeds all expectations. It was a proposal filled with magic, love, and the perfect touch of Taylor’s thoughtfulness. Our love has grown alongside our three beautiful fur babies—Gigi, Luna, and Echo—who are just as much a part of this journey as we are. From their playful antics to their loyal companionship, our little family has been a source of endless joy and love. Throughout these 12 years, we’ve been lucky enough to build a life full of memories, adventures, and shared dreams. Now, after five years of planning (and maybe a few moments of stress), we are beyond excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives. Our family and friends have been patiently waiting for this moment, and we know they’re just as relieved as we are that we’re finally tying the knot! We can’t wait to create even more memories with the people we love and begin this new chapter together, as husband and wife. Thank you for being part of our story, and we are over the moon to share our wedding day with all of you! With love, Lyndsey & Taylor
