Thank you

We wanted to say thank you to everyone who's known us, supported us, loved us, and helped us. Both in and out of planning our wedding and our relationship. We would not be the people we are without our amazing families and our devoted friends. We are so excited to celebrate with you all! Let's get married!

RSVP

RSVPs are due on March 10th, 2024. Please let us know your plans under the "RSVP" tab on our site.

How We Met

We matched on a dating app and started talking about conspiracy theories. When we decided to go on a date in November of 2020, we discussed getting a drink since we were both turning 21 that month. Emma asked me when my 21st was and I told her the 11th. I was shocked! We had the same birthday so I knew I had to go on a date with this kid. We met in a park for a picnic and started seeing each other every week or so which led to every other weekend, and then every weekend, and then Wednesdays plus every weekend until we finally moved in together and now we get to spend every day with each other!

Our Engagement

In the summer of 2022, I knew I was ready to propose to Emma. I went to her sister Beth and her best friend Patience for ideas for a ring, Emma had given them pictures of rings she liked. After making a group chat with the two of them and Emma's mom we finally found the perfect ring for Emma. I then had to figure out the best way to propose without her finding out, I'm a bad liar and Emma is a smart girl. After a lot of communication with her family and my family, I decided the best time would be Thanksgiving 2022 or the day after, I settled on the day after. On the morning after Thanksgiving, I went to work as if it was a normal day, and around noon Emma took my mom to get their nails done with Emma's mom and sister. Me, my brothers and dad went to her childhood home to prepare alongside her dad and her grandmother. When Emma was brought back to her house she was greeted by my brothers, then my parents, then Patience on Facetime, then her grandmother, then her parents and sister, then lastly, me. As she met with each group of people she was read and handed a letter from those people about how much she means to them, there was so much crying from many people. After she hugged and walked from her family I began to play "You & I" by One Direction, a group I knew she liked. Once she got to me I told her how I felt about her and how much she means to me, then I got on one knee and proposed. She said yes and that’s why we have this website.
