Derek and Marissa’s journey began at Stephenson High School, where a young spark would one day grow into a lifelong love. Over the past ten years, they’ve built a beautiful life together, grounded in laughter, resilience, and unwavering love. Together, they’ve raised two incredible sons, Derek and Jeremiah, who are the heart of their world and the greatest reflection of their bond. Now, after a decade of shared dreams, challenges, and joy, Derek and Marissa are excited to take the next step—officially saying “I do” surrounded by the family and friends who have supported them every step of the way.
