It was a beautiful summer July 4th weekend when we met each other for the first time amongst all of our mutual friends. There had been talks about both of us being there and single but had never met. It was evident that there was interest from each of us within the first few hours of hanging out at the island in Emerald Isle, NC. We later found out that 2 hours away from home we actually only lived 15 minutes apart! Once phone numbers were exchanged it only took a couple of days before we went on our first official date to Drive Shack in Raleigh, NC. After the first date, we both knew that this was something special. We started dating about a month later on August 2nd, 2020. The wedding planning began on June 19th, 2022 when we got engaged on an amazing day with both of our families present! The rest is history as we are tying the knot on October 21st, 2023! We are so excited to share and celebrate our wedding festivities with all of our family and friends!
