How we chose our wedding date

Our wedding date 9/11 is actually the our grandparents wedding dates combined. 4/3 and 5/8 is how 9/11 became.

The Riley's

Our story began with a swipe and DM from the groom, of course. Then came the spark, the kind that turns into something long lasting. From our very first conversation, it felt like we had known each other forever. What started as a simple “hey” message, turned into late-night talks, spontaneous adventures, and a growing love. Whether it was fate, timing, or just really good luck, that first moment led to memories, smiles, and laughter. Now we’re saying “I do” and still laughing and smiling for a lifetime in the making.

The Proposal

Shay thought they were just going out for family photos… but little did she know, something big was coming. It was a moment full of love and nervous excitement that we’ll never forget. With the perfect balloon backdrop, candle light walkway. Friends and family handing Shay roses, Jeff pulled off the ultimate surprise proposal with special help. He dropped to one knee with the ring in hand and a huge smile. It was complete with happy tears, hugs, laughs, and Of course, a yes!
