Our Story
Monica & Brion: A Decade of Love and Adventure
​
Welcome to our story – a tale of high school sweethearts, enduring love, and beautiful family moments that have led us to our 10th anniversary vow renewal in the enchanting land of Hawaii.
​
The Beginning: High School Sweethearts
​
Our love story began in the bustling hallways of Westover High School in Fayetteville, NC. Amidst the chaos of teenage life, we found each other – a serendipitous meeting that marked the start of an on-and-off relationship. Those early years were filled with innocent dates, shared dreams, and a connection that, despite the breaks, never truly faded.
​
Reunited and It Feels So Right: The Journey to 2014
​
Life took us on separate paths after high school, but fate had a plan. In 2008, our paths crossed again, reigniting the spark that had always been there. This time, it was different; it was deeper, more profound. We knew that what we had was rare – a love that could withstand time and distance. And so, in 2014, under the Hawaiian sun and amidst the whispers of the ocean, we said our "I dos," promising to navigate life's journey together.
​
Expanding Our Love: Eli and Ari
​
Our love blossomed further with the arrival of our son Eli in 2016, and our daughter Ari in 2018. They brought new joys, challenges, and dimensions to our life, making our family a little more complete and a lot more lively.
​
A Decade of Marriage: Renewing Our Vows
​
As we approach our 10th anniversary on October 15th, 2024, we find ourselves drawn back to the magical shores of Hawaii, where it all began as husband and wife. This time, we're returning not just as a couple but as a family, ready to renew our vows and reaffirm our commitment to each other in the presence of our most precious blessings, Eli and Ari.
​
The Adventure Continues...
​
Our journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. From high school sweethearts to a family of four, every moment has been a step in our beautiful dance of life. As we prepare to renew our vows, we look forward to continuing this dance, hand in hand, heart in heart, with the same love that brought us together all those years ago in high school.
Thank you for being a part of our story – a story that continues to unfold in the most wonderful ways.

With love,
