Our Wedding

We met during the first few weeks of medical school in Rochester, Minnesota. Like all first-year medical students, we were navigating a new city, adjusting to a demanding routine, and figuring out how to survive anatomy. We became friends almost immediately and started dating not long after. From that point on, we spent most of our time together—studying for exams, playing pickleball with friends, and bearing the Minnesota winters over hot chocolate. We adopted our dog (Bear, Mr. Bojangles, Bubbas, Boo Bear, etc.), traveled whenever we got the chance, and ultimately moved to Atlantic Beach. Here in AB, we have created the most beautiful life together, and we cannot wait to continue living it as husband and wife!
