Our Love Story They say love appears when you least expect it—and for us, that couldn’t be more true. On June 7th, 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic, we met in Belmar, New Jersey, near the lively energy of D’Jais. The world was in a strange place, full of uncertainty, distance, and quiet streets. And yet, in the middle of all that stillness, something magical happened: we found each other. What started as a simple summer connection quickly grew into something much deeper. We spent that season getting to know each other—laughing, talking for hours, and realizing that there was something rare and beautiful unfolding between us. As the weeks turned into months, we both knew this was different. This was real. We were falling in love. Over the next two years, our relationship only grew stronger. We learned how to navigate life as a team, shared dreams over takeout dinners, supported each other through challenges, and made countless memories together. Eventually, we moved in together and created a home filled with love, laughter, and a little bit of joyful chaos—thanks to our two beloved dogs, Rex and Leah, who bring light and energy to our everyday lives. Then, on March 3rd, 2024, in a moment we’ll never forget, we got engaged. It was intimate, meaningful, and absolutely perfect—the kind of moment that makes your heart stop in the best possible way. Saying "yes" was the easiest decision we’ve ever made. Now, as we look ahead to our wedding day and beyond, we’re filled with gratitude. Grateful for that unexpected day in Belmar that brought us together, grateful for the love we’ve built, and grateful for every single person joining us to celebrate this next chapter. We know this is just the beginning. Our story is still unfolding, and we can’t wait to write the next chapter—hand in hand, side by side, surrounded by love.
