As I step into marriage, I’m also stepping into a name that already feels like home. I’m honored to take the last name Simpson in recognition of the man who has been there for me my whole life. Dave is the only father I have ever known, and his love, guidance, and unwavering support has shaped who I am today. He has shown up for me in every season of my life, not because he had to, but because he chose to. Carrying his name is one of the most meaningful ways I can honor the role he has played in my life and the family that raised me. As I begin this new chapter with the person I love, I’m grateful to carry forward a name rooted in love, commitment, and family.
