our story

We met 9 years ago and went on our first date on 11/6/2015 (Alex's birthday and John's 20th anniversary with Starbucks). 3 moves, 2 states, and 1 more dog later (welcome Hopper to the family), we recently got married at the Columbus courthouse on 12/27/2023. 

Now we want to celebrate this joyous journey with all of you!

In lieu of gifts, please consider donating to Hope Hollow.
