Our Wedding

We begin dating in the spring of 2021 after meeting through mutual friends at a restaurant. We bonded over our shared love of cooking &amp; travel and have spent much of the past 4 years that have quickly passed since then, doing both of those things. Our first experience traveling together was a road trip through the American Southwest and our most recent was our engagement in Italy. With 7 other trips in between, we knew we wanted to have a destination wedding to share our love of travel with our closest family and friends. We are so excited for our special day and we hope you are too!
