Our Wedding

Our story began on March 24, 2018, at Vango, when someone snuck the others number into their phone (lol!). What started as a bold move quickly grew into years of love, laughter, family, and adventure. Together, we’ve built a beautiful blended family, and the love and bond we share with each of the kids is something truly special. From restaurant hopping to spontaneous vacations, our journey has been filled with memories that shaped who we are today. Over the past seven years, we’ve grown into a partnership that’s strong, fun, and full of joy. The love we share speaks louder than words. Now, we can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter of our story surrounded by the people we love most.
