In 2011, amidst another brutally hot Tallahassee summer, we were introduced as co-workers at the Moe's Southwest Grill on Thomasville Road and seemed to hit it off immediately. Our shifts were filled with shared laughter over spilled beans and ridiculous customers and after years of friendship we began dating in 2015.

We made the decision to move together to Colorado to pursue better opportunities in work and school and were able to make it happen the very next year. Life in Colorado was a blend of hard work and exploration.

In 2021, I walked across the graduation stage with Andrew waiting for me at the end. That same year, we got engaged in Laguna Beach - the salty air and the rhythmic crash of waves setting a romantic scene that will last a lifetime in our memories.

After years of shared adventures, growth, and love, we find ourselves back in Florida, building our future together in Gainesville. In April of 2026, we wish to celebrate with all the friends and family we have had the pleasure of meeting along the way.
