Our Wedding

From Seattle and Boston, our love story first began as Tulane students down in Nola, at a ... renowned establishment just off campus, The Boot, on a glorious Wednesday evening. Since that first night of romance, we've experienced so many chapters together, from New Orleans to New York, Nashville to Los Angeles. Now, 10 years later, we're calling on our family and closest friends to celebrate this past and our future in the place where it all began: The Big Easy. Laissez les bon temps rouler!
