we request the pleasure of your company at our wedding
Our story began like many others in the dating scene - on a dating app. But our first date was far from ordinary. It involved 7 shots at the bar, a hasty exit to the car, and an impromptu snack of saltines on the kitchen floor at 1:00 am. Not exactly love at first sight, but definitely a night to remember! Since then, we've shared countless adventures across the country, rocked out to over 50 concerts together, and indulged in authentic cuisine that has awakened our taste buds. Through it all, we've rediscovered parts of ourselves that we thought were lost. We're thrilled to embark on this next chapter of our journey together, surrounded by the people we love. We can't wait to celebrate with you, share laughter, and create new memories!
