We first met at our friend's wedding, surrounded by the very thing that would one day bring us here: love.
That day, we walked down the aisle together as part of their wedding, not knowing that one day we would be planning our own.
What started as a simple meeting turned into conversations, laughter, and the beginning of something neither of us could have expected.
Falling in love meant learning how to make distance feel a little smaller.
With one of us in Florida and the other living in Chicago, and later California, so much of our relationship was built through trips, hard airport goodbyes, and counting down the days until the next visit. We traveled back and forth to each other, making the most of every moment together and never taking time for granted.
Along the way, we made so many memories through our adventures together. From national parks to trips through Utah and Colorado, we found pieces of ourselves in new places and grew closer with every mile. Looking back, it was all of those moments — the big trips, the quiet days, and everything in between — that made our story ours.
In February, we visited City Lights Bookstore, not knowing it would become one of our most meaningful places in our story.
What started as a simple visit became one of the happiest moments of our lives. In a bookstore filled with so many stories, he asked the question, and we left engaged.
It feels so special that the next part of our journey together began in a place made for stories.
Your presence on our day is the greatest gift of all. For those who wish to give a little something more, we’ve gathered a few favorites below.
