Here’s to forever!

Our story began in the most unexpected and wonderful way—when I met Ethan and his then 3-year-old son, Carson. From the very beginning, there was an easy kind of magic between us: we clicked instantly, laughter came naturally, and it didn’t take long before we knew this was something truly special. In May of 2022, we took two big steps together—we bought our first house and brought home our sweet dog, Aspen. That season of life was filled with new routines, home projects, and lots of love as we settled into our little family and watched Carson grow into the incredible kid he is today. Over the years, we’ve made the most of our time together—going to concerts, gardening, and spending time outdoors (especially out on the boat!). I’m still horseback riding and even compete occasionally, and Ethan loves to experiment in the kitchen and with his Blackstone and smoker. We’ve always made it a priority to support each other’s hobbies and interests, and it’s made us even better as a couple. We’ve shared so many fun adventures: scalloping in Homosassa, exploring the charm of St. Augustine, sightseeing in Washington D.C., road-tripping with Carson and Aspen to New Jersey, and visiting North Carolina twice to meet up with my family. On June 7th, 2024, during a family camping trip surrounded by some of our closest friends and loved ones, Ethan got down on one knee at sunset on Disappearing Island. It was the easiest "yes" of my life—and the start of a brand new chapter together. Now, we can’t wait to celebrate our wedding day with all of you—the people who have supported us, laughed with us, and loved us through every step of this journey. Let’s raise a glass, hit the dance floor, and make even more unforgettable memories together.
