Our Love Story

We met over eight years ago while volunteering for the Matthew Kocher Foundation, a cause close to both of our hearts. Seth, usually the life of the room, was uncharacteristically shy the moment he locked eyes with Heather. It was love at first sight, and the beginning of the best adventure to come. Since that day, we have grown together in every possible way. Through grief, travel, a global pandemic, and the everyday highs and lows of life, our commitment to each other has only deepened. We have learned that love is not just about the easy moments; it is about choosing each other over and over again, even when things get tough. Together, we have traveled the world, wandering through the streets of Italy, exploring cities across the U.S., and making memories wherever we go. But no matter where we are, our foundation remains rooted in what matters most: family. We have built a life centered around our shared values, always prioritizing the relationships that keep us grounded, especially those of our angels, Heather’s Daddy and Seth’s Nonni. Health and wellness are also a big part of our journey. We love staying active and encouraging each other to grow stronger in every way. But if there is one thing that defines our relationship, it is how much we laugh. We are goofy, silly, and full of inside jokes (I mean, for instance, we do call each other “Bear”). We are best friends, soulmates, and loving partners in every sense. Our story is one of loyalty, passion, laughter, and unconditional love, and we cannot wait to begin the crazy adventure of marriage.
