Our Wedding

Our story began in March of 2018 during spring break, when we crossed paths through mutual friends. What started as a simple introduction quickly became something much more meaningful. Through every high and low that followed, one thing stayed constant — we always found our way back to each other, choosing to walk through life side by side. Fast forward to October 11, 2025 — the day Eli completely surprised me. We were supposed to be meeting friends for dinner when he mentioned he needed to make a quick stop to help someone. Anyone who knows Eli knows he does not like being late (and I always am). When we pulled up to the dock, he turned off the truck and asked if I wanted to go look at the water. I hesitated, knowing we were going to be late, but something about the way he asked made me follow. As we walked down the dock, I started to notice two photos waiting for us — the first picture we ever took together and the most recent picture of us. Our beginning and our now. It stopped me in my tracks. Surrounded by the most beautiful setup, carefully planned with a little help, Eli created a moment that was thoughtful, sentimental, and so perfectly us — a reminder of where we started and everything we’ve grown into. It was thoughtful, genuine, and filled with the kind of love that only grows deeper with time. A quiet reminder of how far we’ve come, and how much life we still have ahead of us. Now, after years of choosing each other and growing together, we can’t wait to begin forever.
