We were set up on a blind date by my sister (Sheleah) and his sister-in-law (Stephanie), and from our very first date—bowling followed by dinner—there was an instant connection. What started as a simple introduction quickly grew into something truly special. As our relationship blossomed, we discovered how much we valued the little things, like showing kindness, patience, and understanding toward one another. Those qualities created a strong foundation of respect and comfort, making it easy for us to grow together. One of the most beautiful parts of our journey has been the way we’ve shown each other that there are still kindhearted people in the world who are willing to give you their all. Through both our travels and our quiet nights in, we’ve learned what it means to love with intention—to go out of our way to bring joy, to support one another fully, and to create experiences that remind us of the beauty of true partnership. What truly brought us closer, though, was realizing how deeply we both cherish family and share the same vision for building a life together. That blend of love, laughter, intentionality, and shared values has carried us to this beautiful moment—where we now look forward to saying “I do” and beginning our forever.
