Our love story.

We met our sophomore year in college while planning a social event for her sorority and my fraternity. In no time we became inseparable and I knew she was the one I should hold onto forever. At the start of our junior year we found out we were going to be parents and that brought us and our families closer together than ever before. It is now our senior year of college and were ready to set sail on uncharted territory as young parents and soon to be husband and wife!

Three important details about our Ultimate Wedding.

1.Our mutual love for wine has our hearts set on an early autumn Wine Country Wedding. 2. We'd love a reception under the stars in flowing tents with subtle hints of some of our inspirations: Marie Antoinette mixed with the grandeur of baroque style, splashes of deep purple and autumn’s shades of gold & chocolate browns, and lots of romantic lighting. 3. Lastly we’d like a large out door venue to share this beautiful day with the family and friends who have been there through thick and thin.

Our everyday dream day.

We would wake up bright and early to make banana chocolate chip pancakes and take a hot-air balloon ride to watch the sun rise! We would spend the day on the beach swimming, fishing, sailing, and playing in the sand. As the sun goes down, we would retreat to the shore to have a bonfire and BBQ with friends and family. When the night slowly comes to an end we’ll lay in the sand, star gazing with a bottle of wine, snuggling under a blanket with our son Aiden in the middle, and laughing about the days adventures.
