Our story!

Our story began in July of 2022 at Topgolf Tampa, where we were both serving tables while juggling college and everyday life. We had plenty of mutual friends, but it wasn’t until one ordinary day that Dustin decided to ask Emma out to dinner. And of all places… Buffalo Wild Wings!

That first date was definitely memorable—especially because Emma showed up with a guac stain on her sweater (classic Emma). But that little moment made the night even sweeter, and it set the tone for the fun, easy connection we shared from the very beginning.

On September 11th, 2022, along the peaceful shores of Apollo Beach, Dustin asked Emma to be his girlfriend. From that moment on, everything just felt right. We’ve been building a beautiful life together ever since.

On May 10th, 2025, we got engaged—an incredibly joyful day that marked the start of our forever.

In the time that’s passed, we’ve celebrated three Christmases, six birthdays, and countless moments filled with laughter, adventures, and memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime. The Lord has brought so many blessings and joys into our lives, and we are so grateful for the path that led us to each other.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud…

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” — 1 Corinthians 13:4–7

We truly cannot wait for forever and are beyond excited to celebrate with the people who mean so much to us!
