Our Wedding

From coworkers to friends, then from friends to lovers, we’re ready to say “I do” and build a life together grounded in love and faith. It all began with our group of friends who would spend many nights together — playing volleyball, trivia, and bingo, or heading to Thursdays Downtown to soak in everything Rochester had to offer.One weekend, when everyone else bailed on the plan, we decided to make the best of it an do what any great duo would do — grab $5 Shark Tanks at Applebee's.What started as a casual lunch turned into hours of conversation that neither of us wanted to end. We laughed, shared stories about our childhood, families, friends, dogs — somewhere between the blue drinks and all the laughter, something changed. There was a spark neither of us expected, but both of us felt.We both knew it probably wasn't a great idea to fall for a coworker. Little did we know, it would become the best decision of our lives.After that, we were inseparable. We spent more and more time together — finding any excuse to hang out with each other. On Tuesdays, we made it a tradition to stop by Thai Pop, taking turns snapping pictures of each other in front of the mural. Most of the time, we wouldn't even eat there — we just wanted to see each other, laugh, and share a few moments together.From there, our adventures only grew— concerts, festivals, and camping trips turned into weekend getaways and eventually world travels. We've explored Italy, Central America, Caribbean, and many more, falling in love with each and every new place, but even more, falling so deeply in love with each other.We've spent endless summer nights at the cabin, many weekends cheering on the Vikings, and have been blessed to celebrate every milestone together — from catholic confirmations, buying houses, and all the birthdays, holidays, and every day between.What started as a spontaneous date with cheap drinks and Tuesday night photo ops turned into a lifetime of love, laughter, and adventure. Through every chapter, we've learned that we can always count on each other— and now, we are ready to start our greatest adventure yet: growing old together and cherishing a lifetime full of love.
