Our story

From Glow-in-the-Dark to Forever Thomas and Rachel first met in the most unexpected way—at a glow-in-the-dark birthday party when they were 16 years old! Rachel and Thomas both came with friends, not expecting anything more than making memories with their best friends. Little did they know that one chance encounter would change everything. They quickly hit it off, their connection undeniable from the very start. They talked, laughed, and shared stories well into the night, and by the end of the evening, both Thomas and Rachel knew there was something special between them. What started as a random meeting at a party soon blossomed into something much more. As high school sweethearts, Thomas and Rachel navigated the ups and downs of growing up together. Through every milestone and challenge, they were there for each other—supporting, encouraging, and loving one another with all their hearts. Their relationship has been built on friendship, trust, and an unshakable bond that has only grown stronger over time. The proposal was nothing short of magical. While on a vacation at one of Rachel’s favorite beaches, Thomas completely surprised her by having her family secretly join them for the special moment. As they walked along the shore, Thomas got down on one knee and asked Rachel to spend forever with him, with their family cheering in the background. It was a perfect, unforgettable moment—one that Rachel will cherish forever. Thomas has been Rachel’s constant—her rock, her best friend, and the love of her life. After all these years, they are beyond excited to take this next step in their journey—saying “I do” and beginning their forever as husband and wife. They’re so grateful for the love and support they’ve received from their families and friends, and they can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter of their story with all of you. Here’s to forever and always and to the beautiful adventure ahead.
