Our Story
It all started with a chance meeting over Pokemon Go at work - and maybe a little bit of fate.
From the moment we met, there was an instant connection. Whether it was shared laughter, long conversations, or just the comfort of being together, we knew early on that something special was growing between us.
Over time, we built a life full of catching them all, food adventure, travel with unexpected detours, and more joy than we could have imagined. We've cheered each other on through every high and supported each other through every low. What started as a spark has continued as a steady, unwavering love.
Now, we can’t wait to say ‘I do’ and begin this next chapter as husband and wife. Thank you for being part of our journey — we’re so excited to celebrate with all of you!

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?
We kindly ask that you live in the moment, and you put phones and cameras away during the ceremony so our photographers can capture our special day - don't worry, we'll share the professional photos later!
Will there be an open bar?
Yes! Cheers to that.
Do you have a wedding registry?
Your presence is the greatest gift we could ask for! We truly feel lucky just to celebrate this day with the people we love. While we don't have a traditional registry, if you'd like to contribute to our future together, we'd be incredibly grateful for a monetary gift - but please know it's completely optional!
