Our Story

Pittsburgh > Bethesda > Emerald Isle

Once upon a chilly December day in the heart of Pittsburgh, our journey began on the glistening ice of the PPG Ice Skating Rink. Little did we know that beneath the twirls and laughter, the foundation of a love story was being laid—one that would take us on an exhilarating adventure.

Just four days later, we found ourselves atop Mt. Washington, surrounded by the shimmering lights of Pittsburgh at night. The cityscape below mirrored the spark we felt, and it was clear that something special was unfolding.

Our dates became a montage of thrilling escapades—rock climbing, mountain biking, and even soaring above the city lights in a helicopter. Each new experience brought us closer, weaving the fabric of our story.

Eventually, we traded the steel city for the bustling streets of Washington, DC. Amidst the monuments and historic charm, we continued to build a life together, adopting a wonderful cat named Tavr. It was during a bike-packing adventure from Washington, DC to Harpers Ferry, WV, that we reached a pivotal point in our journey— and embarked on the next chapter of our lives as an engaged couple.

As the seasons changed, so did our address, leading us to the picturesque landscapes of North Carolina. Here, we bought a home, we welcomed a new furry companion into our lives—a cat who added warmth and joy to our days, Mohs.

With roots firmly planted, we set our sights on a dream wedding at the Watson House. Nestled in the heart of Emerald Isle, surrounded by love and the promise of a shared future, we look forward to celebrating our union with family and friends.

Join us on this incredible journey as we say "I Do" and begin the next chapter of our love story, surrounded by the ones we hold dear, in a place that holds a special spot in our hearts.
