Our Wedding

Our Story

Even though we went to school together and had known each other since we were kids, life took us in different directions for a while. Years later, we unexpectedly reconnected at the Smilin Moose while we were both out for drinks with friends. That night became our unofficial "first" date, and this photo marks the very beginning of our journey together!
