Some love stories start with sparks — ours started young, took a detour, and returned as something unbreakable. We met as teens, reconnected in our twenties, and after saying “I love you,” we packed up our lives and moved to Louisville — no plan B, just each other. That was over a decade ago, and we’ve never looked back. In 14 years, we’ve grown up and faced challenges we never saw coming, and still found home in one another.

We’ve created unforgettable memories — especially while exploring the world side by side. Whether it was riding scooters through the lush mountains of Da Lat, Vietnam, or getting engaged high above the Teotihuacán pyramids in a giant hot-air balloon, travel has been the heartbeat of our relationship. Experiencing the world together — new places, cultures, and moments — is what brings us the most joy.

With $20,000, we would finally have the chance to celebrate our love with the wedding we’ve dreamed of and begin building our forever in the home we’ve cherished for over 8 years. Nestled in the heart of Germantown, Louisville, our house holds so many memories — and this gift would help us make it officially ours. It’s not just about the wedding or the down payment — it’s about investing in the life and love we’ve built, and the future we’re creating together.
