Our Wedding

It all began with the simplest of gestures-a single "like" in February of 2023. With that click, TJ found Kathy, and the universe quietly set into motion a love story years in the making.To be honest, it took us way too long to finally meet. Life threw some obstacles in our path, and even once we connected, the road wasn't always easy. But no matter how uncertain things felt, we always came back to the connection we shared. We worked for it, and we held onto it-and we're so glad we did.Over time, we realized how many passions we have in common: music, travel, football, and especially anything that involves the water. Some of our happiest days are spent chasing sunsets, soaking up the view, and simply being together. In March of 2025, we took a huge step forward and started building our life together in a home on the water-a dream come true for both of us.The best part of our story, though, is the family and community that surrounds us. Between us, we share five amazing kids, two dogs, and a group of friends and family who have supported us from the beginning. You've shaped our journey more than you know, and we're beyond grateful for each of you.This wedding isn't just about the two of us. It's about celebrating love, resilience, laughter and all the people who've been part of the ride. We can't wait to celebrate this moment-and our future together-with you.
