    With hearts filled with joy,

    we ask you to join us in celebrating a day devoted to faith, cherished family, and the love that unites us.

    Our Story

    We first met at university

    ...where our story quietly began. In the midst of shared classes, late-night conversations, and countless small moments, a friendship took root. Over time, that bond deepened into a love that has only grown stronger and more enduring.

    We’ve shared countless moments that became part of our story

    ...caring for something together, taking trips just because, and creating a place we could truly call home. Each new experience brought its own lessons and laughter, shaping how we show up for each other.

    We’ve celebrated milestones that have deepened our connection

    ....from making promises to each other to exploring new places side by side. Each chapter has reminded us that love grows strongest when it’s nurtured through both joy and challenge.

    Now, after 6 lovely years of love and happiness

    ...surrounded by those who have been part of our journey, we’re ready to honor the bond that brought us here.
