Our Wedding

Life has a funny way of bringing people together long before they realize they are meant to find one another. For Marie and Joey, their story began long before they ever started dating—through countless little connections that, at the time, seemed like simple coincidences. Growing up just down the road from each other, Marie and Joey spent their entire childhoods closer than they realized. They rode the same school bus, attended the same school, and eventually found themselves part of the same friend group. Their families even crossed paths through dance, as Joey’s family spent many years dancing at the same studio where Marie took dance. Looking back, it feels as though life was quietly leaving them little hints all along, creating connections and shared memories before either of them knew what their future would hold. Today, Marie and Joey are incredibly grateful for the way their paths continued to intertwine and ultimately led them to one another. What began with years of shared places, familiar faces, and unexpected connections has grown into a love they hope to carry with them for the rest of their lives. They are so excited for this next chapter and for all the memories still to come as they continue choosing, loving, and growing together—forever
