Our Wedding

Jeffery and I met in 2017 through my best friend and his sister, Sabrina. At first, he was just the annoying older brother of my best friend, but everything changed on June 30, 2019, when he asked me to be his girlfriend.Over the years, we grew closer through every win, loss, and milestone. In 2023, we moved in together and welcomed our sweet dog, Shelly. By 2024, we had our first apartment and kept pushing forward through every challenge life threw at us.Then on Christmas 2025, Jeffery proposed—and our story became forever.
