Our Wedding

Thomas and JoAnn’s love story began over three years ago when JoAnn was attending graduate school in New York and Thomas was working in Texas. Planning to move to Virginia, they set their dating app locations there. And just like that, a swipe turned into a spark.Over the next two months, they exchanged endless texts, phone calls, and laughter. When they finally met in person, everything felt natural, effortless, and full of joy. Two weeks later, they were officially a couple. Despite much of their relationship having been long distance, their bond only grew stronger and time apart helped them appreciate each moment together, deepening their connection and showing them just how much they truly cherish one another.JoAnn is the sunshine. Playful, sweet, and full of energy. She makes Thomas smile with her stories, and life with her is full of spontaneous dancing, affection, and endless laughter.Thomas is the moonlight. Calm, steady, and grounded. With a gentle smile, he faces every day with patience and confidence. His thoughtfulness brings a comforting love to every moment.Together? They’re the perfect dream team.Now, they're beyond excited to begin this next chapter, together, side by side. They can’t wait to celebrate with all of you, the family and friends who have supported them along the way.Here’s to a journey rich in love, joy, and grace.Forever starts now.
