Ryan and I met in 2019 through mutual friends at a bar in Uptown Charlotte. It was quick, casual, but we knew there was something special there.

A few months later, everything changed.

Our first official date was at New Zealand Café, where we shared Miso Soup and Sushi, bonding over our likes and dislikes on the menu.

Fast forward six years..

After buying our first home together, Ryan took me back to New Zealand Café. We reminisced on our first date there and reflected on the beautiful life we’ve built together. From there, he brought me back to the steps of our new home, where all of our friends and family were waiting inside, and asked me to marry him.

Of course, I said yes.

The life we’ve built together with Harlow and Tubbs is incredible. However, we wouldn’t be here today without the support from our friends and family who stood beside us through everything. Celebrating wins, navigating career growth, and walking through some of our hardest moments.

We truly cannot put into words how much each and every one of you means to us. Your love, support, and presence in our lives have shaped who we are today.

Having you with us on our wedding day is the greatest gift of all.
