HOW DID YOU TWO MEET?
Our love story began at Minor High School in 2011, when we met in the ninth grade. After becoming friends, we became high school sweethearts in the 10th grade.
THE PROPOSAL
We got engaged on a vacation to the mountains in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, on Christmas Day in 2021 with family and friends present.
PREPARING FOR MARRIAGE
We worked closely with our parents and wedding planner, Cassandra Harlequin with Plan It Weddings, to ensure that the day was fun and memorable. We enjoying planning our wedding and experiencing the different phases of planning such as the catering and cake tastings with our moms. We also enjoyed having wedding party meetings with Cassandra and our wedding party, as well as all of the different celebratory events leading up to our wedding day. We had lots of fun and made lots of lifelong memories.
WEDDING MOMENTS
Interacting with our friends and family during our wedding reception was one of our favorite wedding memories. The dance floor was packed throughout the night, and at the end of the reception after we exited the building, we stayed outside for an hour or so, enjoying the company of our loved ones. It was an amazing evening full of love.
