On a journey that began in service to our country with the United States Army, our love story started thousands of miles from home during a deployment to Poland. What began as a friendship built on laughter, trust, and unforgettable memories slowly became something neither of us could imagine living without.

Through every moment together, we became not only best friends, but our greatest blessing. And on Meresha birthday, in the sweetest and most meaningful way, Anthony asked Meresha on their first date in 2018 . From that day on, our hearts knew they had found home in each other.

Together, we have built a life filled with love, adventure, and joy — especially in the place that feels most magical to us, Walt Disney World Resort, where Anthony proposed and where so many of our happiest memories have been made.

Whether spending time there together or relaxing at home with our three adorable cats, every chapter of our story has been filled with love, laughter, and happiness.

Today is the beginning of our greatest adventure yet. Our wedding day is more magical than we could have ever dreamed, and we are beyond excited to spend the rest of our lives together as husband and wife.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful day with us. We feel incredibly lucky and blessed to be surrounded by the love and support of our family and friends as we celebrate the start of forever together.
