The first time we met (2001) we talked for hours about music, but it was several years later before we started dating. 🎶

On one of our first "dates", Kevin and his friend had to pass a MSC inquisition (Sarah's parents' friend group). Kevin let his friend do all the talking, as to not get caught in a trap or dig himself a hole. 😉

Kevin's military enlistment ended in 2005 and he invited Sarah to visit is hometown with him. That is when Kevin's nephew started calling us boyfriend/girlfriend, while encountering "Indians" in the wilderness of North Carolina. 😄

After his enlistment, Kevin's original plans got scrapped and so he moved to Tallahassee to go to school. Shortly after, Sarah (conveniently) started attending FSU in Tallahassee also and within in a few months we were sharing a one bedroom apartment.🗺️

We adopted our first fur-baby, Delaney (named for the street we lived on at the time), and bought a house near FSU a couple of months later in 2006.🏠

In 2007, our second fur-baby, Ariel, joined the family and our family was complete (for a while).💜

There were many ups and downs over the years, which revealed our true character and tested the strength of our relationship. With each challenge, our commitment to one another grew deeper. 💞

When we lost Ariel in 2021 and then Delaney in 2022, there was a void in our family, which was quickly filled a week later with the addition of Meeko (who we won in an Instagram Valentine's Day contest).🐕‍🦺

2023 was a tumultuous year, but Meeko was ready for a brother and so Finn found his home with us.🦮

Christmas day 2024 was when Kevin proposed, with the help of her family (unknowingly). Sarah had our wedding venue booked within a month. 🤭

In February we found out our family would be growing once again, but this time it would be a less furry addition. 😍

July 2025 marks our 20th "anniversary". After all that time, both the marriage and baby were unexpected... by everyone.✨

Late September, we will welcome our newest member to the crew. Luckily, we were already planning on having a low-key wedding! 😎

So, here we are in 2025 embracing our new future together, deepening our commitment to one another, and looking forward to share a big/special moment with you at our wedding. 🎉
