Our Wedding

Our story began in 2013, when we were paired as dance partners for our eighth grade gym class.What started with a shy smile and a few hesitant steps soon grew into a connection that has shaped our lives in the most beautiful ways.Through the years, we’ve shared so many milestones—growing up together, cheering each other on through college, and beginning our careers side by side.Our adventures have taken us from exploring Ireland to building a home together in Chicago, each moment deepening our love and strengthening our bond.Today, our lives are filled with laughter, love, and the joyful company of our two cats, Binx and Boba.We are endlessly grateful for the journey that brought us here and so excited to begin our next chapter as husband and wife.
