With full hearts, we share that we chose to begin our marriage in a way that felt deeply meaningful and true to who we are.

In the early morning hours of January 3rd 2026, beneath a gorgeous full moon in Big Bend National Park, we exchanged our vows & promises full of love to each other. 

The desert stood still around us, vast and gentle, holding the moment with stars overhead and the earth beneath our feet.

As the sun rose, we whispered gratitude to the Far West Texas vistas that have always welcomed us so tenderly, and began our seven hour journey home. By 11:11 p.m., our officiant, and most importantly our brother, made it official.

And we couldn’t be happier!

This moment marks a new chapter in our journey and one we will carry with us for the rest of our lives.

Far West Texas is woven into our love in a way words can hardly hold but our hearts long to express, and we are forever grateful to have made it a monumental part of our story.

We are incredibly thankful for our village and the love that surrounds us. We carry your well wishes with us as we continue building a life rooted in devotion, joy, and grace. 

All Love Always

All Love Always,
