March 2026: Engagement Photo Shoot

Meet Teddy, our adorable 2-year-old Goldendoodle! He knows he's quite handsome and dapper...according to his daycare teachers, he's quite the ladies man and flirt!

John blames me for Teddy being glued to me as I was the one who held him while John drove us home the day we got him. Woops! We got him after a year of dating...Teddy was the indicator a ring was in the future.

We'll meet you here after the ceremony!

We'll meet you here for the ceremony! Just without Teddy this time.

Teddy hopes you’ll try “The Teddy” speciality cocktail at our reception!

Teddy clearly thought this was his, not our, photo shoot.
