How We Met

First Comes School, Then Comes Love

We first met in sixth grade at John Marshall Elementary School, where we quickly developed the biggest crushes on each other and proudly called it "dating" as we grew older, we continued our story together at Brookhurst Junior High, officially dating through those early years. High school took us on a different paths- he attended Savannah High School, while I went to Loara High School. Although we dated during that time, life eventually led us in separate directions, and we lost touch for a few years. In 2020, our paths crossed once again, and this time, it was meant to be. From that reunion came our greatest blessings- our three beautiful children. Today we stand together, grateful for the journey that brought us here, surrounded by love, faith, and family. We are so happy to share this special moment with you, alongside our three children, as we celebrate our happily ever after.
