It all started with family friends who insisted we needed to meet, and they were right. Once we finally went on our first date, everything fell into place. Brian showed up to North Italia bright-eyed and excited, and Shelby immediately felt comfortable. The nerves faded, the conversation came easy, and somehow the night still ended too soon.

After that, things moved quickly, but naturally. Fletcher gained a pretty great dog dad, and somewhere along the way, we both realized this was it. The kind of love that you don't question, you just know. Through the adventures, the quiet moments, and plenty of laughter, we’ve built a life we truly love, and we can’t wait to celebrate it with you!
