Our Wedding

May 4, 2024 @ 5pm

Secrets Royal Beach

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Our Story

Our story begins in ninth grade art class as friends. Sharing jokes, laughs, and the occasional ruler. Our time was spent navigating high school halls and football games. Then as seniors our love story began. Senior nights, prom, and graduation all spent side by side. Going out into the real world can be intimidating, but knowing we had each other made it that much more exciting. After five years of love, laughs, and growth, here we are having our wedding day! We are ecstatic to share this day with our closest friends and family and to begin making new memories as husband and wife. Please join us on our special day in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic on May 4th, 2024! Where the laughs will be loud, the hugs will be tight, and the love overflowing.
