The Wedding of

Francis & Joy

    With grateful hearts,

    we invite you to celebrate a day rooted in faith, surrounded by family, and filled with the love that brings us together.

    Our Story

    We’ve been together since high school

    ..., growing side by side before we even understood what we were building. What began as simple companionship slowly became a steady, grounded love.

    As life unfolded,

    we learned how to show up for each other through uncertainty, long days, and moments that asked more of us than we expected. In choosing each other again and again, we found our rhythm.

    From first steps into adulthood to shaping the lives we now share,

    we’ve faced change with patience, trust, and humor. The years taught us that love isn’t just found in milestones, but in the everyday decision to move forward together.

    With years of life behind us and so much still ahead,

    we’re now gathering the people who know our story best to witness the choice we’ve been making all along.
