We met for the first time on the modest stage in the side room of Rippy's BBQ in August of 2021. We were both filling in for a band that Friday and Saturday night, and during that time, we discovered that we both played tennis! Thomas invited Myka to play tennis a couple days later, and the rest is really history. We hung out probably everyday for the next month after that. We had been dating for about 9 months in May of 2022 when Thomas popped the question right before a Dave Matthews Band concert in Atlanta. We (esp. Myka) wanted the wedding day of her dreams, BUT we already knew we loved each other and wanted to be together forever, so why not go ahead and get the marriage part started? :) So... we said "I Do" that July in the presence of both of our parents and Thomas' siblings/their families. We wanted something small and intimate for our commitment to one another that would honor the Lord and His plan for us. We knew we were going to have the celebration day a little later, so fast forward to now, and that's where YOU come in. We have so many people in our lives that we love and cherish and we would be honored if you all would join us on this special day to celebrate our union!
