“When you know, you just know. That’s truly how we felt about each other from the very beginning.”

WHEN AND WHERE DID YOU MEET?
We met through pharmacy! Unbeknownst to us, we attended the same class in pharmacy school. However, we never actually met until fate brought us together again when we worked in the same pharmacy years later.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FIRST DATE!
We went to Champs in Altoona! He brought me chocolate covered strawberries and I immediately knew he was a keeper.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO TOGETHER?
We love having themed movie/show nights! We blow up an air mattress for the living room and make special snacks and drinks to fit the occasion.

WHEN DID YOU KNOW HE/SHE WAS THE ONE?
When you know, you just know. That’s truly how we felt about each other from the very beginning. Our values and personalities aligned so seamlessly, there was no one we would rather spend every day of forever with!

HOW DID HE PROPOSE?
He completely shocked me with a beautiful proposal at the Bella Collina while on a trip to Orlando, FL. He had a giant heart made of roses, champagne, chocolate strawberries, and the most beautiful reflection pool! I didn’t need any of that to say yes, but it sure helped to make it an even sweeter memory for us.

WHEN YOU THINK OF YOUR WEDDING DAY, WHAT DO YOU ENVISION? WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR YOU?
Our dream wedding day would be less focused on the inevitable wedding-day chaos, and more focused on our love and commitment to each other as well as the union of our two families. It’s in July, so we plan to have bright colors to match the upbeat, happy energy we want the day to carry!

WHY THE WILLOW?
We were going to take wedding planning slowly after the engagement, but our parents attended The Willow Grand Opening Event and insisted we go see the place. As soon as we stepped inside, we gave each other “the look”, knowing this was the perfect place for us. It’s modern, but still with a ton of character and plenty of space for all of our loved ones!

Wedding Date: July 5, 2025
