How We Met: Her Story

First comes school, then comes marriage.

Love sparked amidst the textbooks and stethoscopes of medical school, where our paths crossed and our journey together began. After graduation, life led us on separate adventures, with me pursuing residency in Houston and Val in Reno. Despite the distance, our bond only grew stronger. Fate eventually reunited us in South Carolina, where we now work side by side, combining our passions for medicine and each other. Along the way, we've shared countless adventures, exploring the great outdoors and traveling to new destinations together. Now, as we embark on the greatest adventure of all – marriage – we invite you to join us in celebrating the love that began in the halls of academia and continues to thrive in the beauty of life's journey.

How We Met: His Story

Love at first sight.

Our story began in the hallowed halls of medical school, where our shared dreams of healing brought us together. Through the trials of residency, our bond only grew stronger, fueled by late-night study sessions and moments of shared laughter amidst the chaos of the hospital. Now, as we stand side by side in our careers, our love remains as steadfast as ever. Together, we've embarked on countless adventures, exploring distant lands and creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime. I'm endlessly grateful for the journey we've shared and the love that continues to fuel our extraordinary story.

For all the days along the way
