Our story began in 2010 when we met through mutual friends. Life took it's time bringing us together, and a few years later - after a spontaneous dinner with friends in 2014 - something just clicked. That night marked the beginning of our journey together.
Since then, our relationship has grown through shared laughter, quiet moments, and life's big milestones. The most memorable of all? Our wedding day in June 2021.
We had planned an outdoor celebration at a historic winter colony estate - a weekend filled with family, friends, and joy. But as the day arrived, so did the rain. We quickly flipped everything indoors, transforming the setting at the last minute. What could have been stressful ended up being magical: an intimate evening filled with love, happy tears, and so much laughter and dancing. It reminded us that even when plans change, what matters most is having each other.
Today, our life is built on the values we hold dear - love, family, laughter, and showing up for one another, no matter what. We are excited to grow our family and to create new memories, filled with the same love and intention that has shaped our journey so far.
