Our Story

Journey of Our Firsts

Looking back, there were numerous occasions where Marissa and Randan found themselves at the same events, sometimes even standing side by side, yet remained unaware of each other's presence. It's remarkable to think that since they were little kids, as shown in the photo, Marissa and Randan were complete strangers, little knowing that their paths were destined to intertwine in the most beautiful way. ❤️

Our Journey: From Mountain Adventures to Forever Love


Our adventure started in the scenic mountains of Boone, NC, a sunny afternoon during a spring church trip. A place that holds a special significance in our hearts. This is where our paths crossed, setting the stage for an unforgettable journey. From those early days of shared adventures and youthful innocence, a bond began to blossom.

As we navigated the twists and turns of adolescence, our friendship deepened, marked by countless conversations and shared experiences. Through highs and lows, we stood by each other's side, finding comfort and strength in our forever connection.

As time passed, our bond evolved into something more profound. We discovered a love that transcended friendship—a love that ignited our hearts and filled our souls with joy.

Through the years, we've weathered many storms together, celebrating triumphs and supporting each other through challenges. Our love has only grown stronger with each passing day, a testament to our passions.

As we stand on the threshold of a new chapter, we are filled with gratitude for the journey that has brought us here. With hearts full of love and excitement, we embark on this next adventure together.

Now, as we stand on the brink of forever, it feels only fitting to return to the place where it all began. Surrounded by the majestic mountains and the same timeless beauty, we come full circle, ready to exchange vows and embark on a new chapter. Boone, NC, will forever hold a special place in our hearts—a place where love found us, and where our journey together truly began. As we say "I do" in this gorgeous town, we do so with gratitude for the memories we've shared and the love that continues to grow between us. Hand in hand, soulmates for life, let the adventure begin!
