OUR STORY
Romance in Vegas
Our story began in the summer of 2014 in Las Vegas, "where we fell in love as the leaves turned brown." Both young, wild, and carefree, we met working in the nightlife industry. From the moment I first saw her, I knew she was the one. Once she gave me a chance after chasing her, we were inseparable. It seemed destined that we both relocated to Vegas from different states and crossed paths. We felt incredibly lucky to have found one another. Navigating life on our own, we grew together, supported one another, and leveled up each step of the way. They say time flies when you're having fun, and our love story has been over 10 years in the making!
It feels like we've experienced a lifetime of cherished memories and thrilling adventures, yet somehow, it also feels as though not much time has passed. I proposed in the summer of 2021 where we had our first date on the Vegas strip. We made the decision to have our wedding after Cindy completed her graduate program. However, the passing of both our fathers in 2021 and 2022, put the wedding on hold. This experience made us stronger and truly value our precious time together. Once she graduated in 2023, we felt the urgency to become husband and wife. We've remained committed as life partners over the years, and now the time has come to formalize our union!
Our wedding will be a beautiful reflection of our special and remarkable love, and we plan to have a grand celebration to honor one another! The best is yet to come in our story, and we can’t wait for it all!

DRESS CODE
Formal Attire
Dress in your finest Met Gala outfit and strut your stuff at our black-tie wedding!
This is your high fashion moment! Go all out with your most sophisticated and dapper attire.
Embrace the glamour whether you're into classic elegance or daring couture and make a statement with your unique style!
Please adhere to the Dress Code, fashion police on duty! ;) All-white outfits are a no-go.
The bridal party will be dressed in sage green, and the wedding theme embraces natural tones.
Guests are encouraged to wear any color or print they love. Ties and bowties are fantastic, but no tie is fine if the suit works without one.
You can rock simple, classic styles or bold, extravagant outfits that truly reflects your personality!
We're so excited to see everyone dressed up confidently in their stylish fits!
See FAQ 'What should I wear?' for more suggestions.
