We got married!

In January 2014 two DC singles swiped right, each intrigued by the other's joyful smile. Our first date was in a coffee shop, where we listened to a 90s cover band and talked the night away about music, movies, and the differences between growing up on opposite sides of the Sweet Tea line. We became inseparable pretty quickly and moved to North Carolina one year later. We explored our new home, started new careers, adopted two dogs, and committed to a life together. Brandon proposed in July 2019, in a quiet section of our favorite part of our adopted and beloved Durham. Like the rest of the world, our lives have changed with the unpredictability of 2020, but we are grateful to have moved into a new home, great jobs, new quarantine hobbies, pup playtime, and most importantly, each other.

The plan was to get married on September 24, 2021 in Asheville, NC-however, the world turned upside down in Spring 2020. Over the summer we realized there'd be no guarantee that we could celebrate with everyone as we had originally wanted and decided that it was important for us to be married and face the unknowns of 2020 together. We chose to host a micro-wedding on September 23, 2020 in our backyard with a small group of family members. We are so heartbroken to not have you with us during this important milestone in our lives but are so grateful for your grace and understanding. We wanted to share this moment with you all, so below is the link to our ceremony and we've put pictures from the ceremony up as well! https://youtu.be/rQs4fu4GXc0 Wedding songs: "La Vie en Rose" by Louis Armstrong + "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" by Sylvester Thank you to all who have asked about a registry. We have provided a link at the top of this page for those who wish to participate. But we know that times are hard for many of us. Please do not feel pressured to send anything.

We cannot wait to celebrate with all of you in the Great After when everything is safe. We will send out save the dates to party, hug, dance, and champagne in the future and update this website with all the news fit to print.
