Our Wedding

Although our love story officially began in 2009, Al and I actually knew each other long before then. We crossed paths in high school and spent years knowing one another before realizing there was something more between us.On the 4th of July 2009, everything changed. It was the day of our first kiss, the day we made our relationship official, and years later, it became even more special when Al chose that same meaningful date to ask me to be his wife.When I first got to know Al, I was immediately drawn to how caring and respectful he was. Over the years, I’ve fallen even more in love with his incredible sense of humor and his determination to be the best man he can be. He has a way of making me laugh through every season of life while constantly inspiring me to grow.One of the things I treasure most about our relationship is the life we’ve built together. We’ve always encouraged each other to become better versions of ourselves, supporting one another’s dreams and pushing each other to grow in every aspect of life.After more than 16 years together, we’re excited to begin this next chapter as husband and wife. We look forward to continuing to learn, grow, and explore the world together. Most of all, I’m excited to experience all of life’s future adventures and firsts with my best friend by my side.The best part of our story is that it’s still being written. ❤️

She Said

I remember when I 1st saw Nicole, I thought she was beautiful, and on top of that she had an amazing personality... I remember our first date like it was yesterday. We went out and got some Harold's, and that chicken changed my life. Lbs.. Even though on our 2nd date somebody broke into my car and stole my radio while we were eating at Olive Garden, and I thought she set me up. Lol. The one thing I love most about her is her strength. She is a very strong woman, and she knows how to handle me and tolerate me even tho I can be very annoying. When we started dating, we were both living with our parents, and we built a lot together. From our 1st apartment to owning our 1st home together.. Not to mention we have 3 great kids that were raised on morals and respect. The most exciting thing about our future is that there are no expectations because as long as we're together, anything is possible; the sky is the limit. Also, thank you for pushing me to be the best me every single day.
