Our Wedding

Like so many modern love stories, ours began with a simple swipe in 2022. What started on a dating app quickly turned into hours of conversation, laughter, and realizing how much we had in common.Our first date was at a botanic garden during Christmas, it was magical with all the lights, and it instantly felt like we'd known each other forever. A year later, at that very same garden, he got down on one knee and proposed.In 2024, we welcomed our greatest blessing, our baby boy, making our love story even more meaningful. Now, we're so excited to start this next chapter surrounded by family and friends as we say "I do" in another beautiful garden.
