Our Wedding

Reese and I went to the same high school, but our paths didn’t cross until we started working together. At first, we were just friends—but it didn’t take long before friendship turned into something more. We started dating in February 2018, during our senior year of high school, and after graduation, we knew we wanted to continue our journey together.Reese went on to school and became a respiratory therapist, and soon after, we decided it was time to find our first home together. In August 2023, we signed the papers for our home in Glenshaw. Experiencing all the joys (and challenges!) of being first-time homeowners only brought us closer together.Once we settled in, we started dreaming about adding a furry friend to our family. While we had different ideas about what kind of dog we wanted, we both agreed on getting a boxer. One day, while I was at work, Reese sent me a picture of the cutest little boxer puppy! He was the last one left, and even though there was one family ahead of us, we decided to go for it. In May 2025, we brought home our first fur baby, Tatum. The first few weeks were pure chaos, but it was worth every moment.A few weeks after Tatum joined our family, Reese suggested a weekend getaway for the three of us. I was hesitant about renting an Airbnb in the middle of the woods with a new puppy, but Reese assured me it would be perfect. Little did I know, he had something extra special planned.On the second day of our trip, Reese asked me to take a walk with him and Tatum to a nearby creek. As we reached the water, it was just the three of us—peaceful and quiet. Then, I turned around, and there was Reese, down on one knee, with a ring in hand. I was in complete shock, convinced I was dreaming—but of course, I said yes!From high school beginnings to first homes, puppies, and proposals, Reese and I have shared so many incredible firsts. We can’t wait to add marriage—and all the adventures that come with it—to the list. This is just the beginning of our life and family together.

Our Story

Photos

We met about eight years ago at work. Over time, our friendship grew into one of the greatest gifts in my life. Now, we're basically inseparable- if you see one of us the other isn't usually far behind. Julia is the person I call when I’m overwhelmed, when I'm overthinking, when I need perspective, or just need a good laugh. And honestly… that makes sense, because being a clinical mental health counselor isn't just her job- it's who she is. She has this incredible way of calming chaos, talking through any problem and making you feel completely understood. I could not ask for a better person to be my maid of honor than Jul.

Christine- although to me, she will always be Kiki. We grew up living right across the street from each other, and from such a young age, she became such a huge part of my life. Even when I moved away, even as life got busier and more complicated, somehow our friendship never faded. What I love most about us is that no matter how much time passes, the second I see Kiki, it's like nothing has changed. We pick up right where we left off- same laughter, same connection, same silly little kids playing dress up.


Kiki 

I met Maddie through my fiance, and I'm so grateful I did- because somewhere along the way, she became such an important part of not just my life, but our life. Reese and I absolutely love spending time with maddie and brendan. The four of us have shared so many laughs, fun nights, and unforgettable trips together. Even though our friendship hasn't been the longest, it's one of those friendships that just feels easy. Maddie is one of the most non-judgemental people I know. I can fully be myself around her. 


Maddie

I met Maizi through work, and from the very 	beginning, her outgoing personality and infectious sense of humor made her impossible not to love. She’s the kind of friend who can turn any moment into a laugh and any plan into an adventure. Maizi has always been my partner in crime- whatever we do it's a two person job. I'm so grateful for Maizi's friendship, laughter, and all the memories we have created together and can't wait for the ones still ahead.


Maizi

Carly is my sister-in-law, but so much more than that. Carly is my brother’s wife, which means she came into my life through family-but over time, she became family in her own way. Like any real relationship, we’ve had our ups and downs. What I love most about us is that no matter what, we always show up for each other in the end. She acts like a sister, being loyal and caring. Many trips and late night laughs have formed our friendship.

I met Julia through work, and even though we haven't been friends for a super long time, it feels like she’s always been part of the crew. Julia has this amazing ability to light up a room and make everyone feel included- the kind of friend who instantly brings energy and joy wherever she goes. She’s a true girl, bubbly, fun, and someone you can always count on to be there when it matters. I'm so glad our paths crossed and can't wait to make more fun memories.

Anton is one of my best friends. it's very common we are together three times a week watching football or going to grab a beer together. Anton is a mechanic / my handyman around the house lol. You can always count on Ferruchie to tell you how it is. He is an outgoing person and always willing to help out. He is a great supportive friend.

Shane and I do a lot together from quad riding to going to sporting events together.  Shane is the manager of Mr. Magic so if you ever need a clean wash he's your guy.
