Our story

First comes hiking, then comes marriage....

As many of you know, this story is unique. Anthony and Jess met in high school, remained friends, and stayed in touch over the years. In 2018, both living in Columbus, Jess heard about a family with a litter of Black Lab/German Shepherd puppies and shared the news with Anthony. That June, they each brought home a puppy—now known as the infamous Riggs & Chance. In the months that followed, they took the brother pups on hikes, giving them time together. One thing led to another, and Anthony asked Jess to be his girlfriend. From then on, Anth, Jess, and the boys were inseparable. Eventually, the four moved back home to Cleveland and bought their first house together. Now, their story continues as they create new memories. This wedding is a celebration of their journey—and of Riggs & Chance. Though Riggs left too soon, he will be watching from above, forever a part of their story. Without him, this path wouldn’t have been theirs. This wedding is more than just a ceremony—it is a celebration of growth, life, and love. Anthony and Jess feel incredibly lucky to be here, & living this life together with their loved ones. This day honors not only their journey together but the blessing of sharing it with those they cherish most.
