We met online, and as fate would have it, we planned to meet in person for the first time on the very day the world shut down due to COVID-19. We both felt there was something special we didn't want to miss out on, so we managed to find a restaurant that was still open and kept our date! We had an instant connection. We loved getting to know each other, and it wasn't long before we knew we had each found our person and were ready to tie the knot.

We got married in Logan's hometown, surrounded by family and friends, and have since built a relationship on love, friendship, mutual respect, and a shared vision for making a difference in the world. We also love to make each other laugh.

We cherish our time together, whether we're playing pickleball, traveling, trying new foods, or just talking for hours about how we want to change the world. What we value most about our marriage is our ability to support each other through life's challenges and the excitement we have for our future--especially the prospect of becoming parents!

We are so looking forward to welcoming a child into our home and creating a lifetime of new memories together!

From the moment I met Luke, I knew he was special. We can literally talk for hours without ever running out of things to say. I fell in love with his curiosity and his deep desire to make a positive impact on the world. His wild optimism and dedication to his friends and family are just a few of the qualities I admire most.

In his work as a lawyer, Luke showcases his leadership skills, strong work ethic, and incredible ability to connect with just about anyone. He's a true people person with a brilliant mind.

Luke is a caretaker at heart, and I know he will be a fantastic parent--consistent, loving, and always encouraging a child to do their best. I can't wait to watch him lovingly guide a child through all of life's moments--big and small.

More about Luke:

• he is a RENEWABLE ENERGY LAWYER
• he loves to BAKE
• his hobbies include: READING and PICKLEBALL
• he is PASSIONATE ABOUT HELPING OTHERS

Logan is the most loving person I know. He's an amazing friend and cares deeply about his family. I fell in love with his big heart, generous spirit, and desire to make the world a better place.

Logan is a very hard worker, and it's been awe-inspiring to watch him grow his own businesses over the years--working in landscaping, robotics, and technology. He will be the dad who always has some cool new gadget to show off and impress a little one with! He'll also be the one to teach them all about mowing the lawn, savings and budgets, and gardening!

I just know he'll become obsessed with whatever interests they have too--whether that's Legos, Disney princesses, or dinosaurs! Logan is going to be such a hands-on parent, always there with unconditional love and support.

More about Logan:

• he is an ENTREPRENEUR and BUSINESS OWNER
• he loves to TRAVEL and EXPLORE THE WORLD
• he RUNS and plays PICKLEBALL
• he loves to READ THE WALL STREET JOURNAL ON THE PATIO
• he is PASSIONATE ABOUT QUALITY TIME WITH FAMILY

Luke's parents are thrilled to welcome another grandchild! Becoming "Poppy and Bebe" to our nephew has been their greatest joy. They live just five minutes from us and will be actively involved in their new grandkid's life--from trips to the park to sleepovers and family vacations! Bebe will spoil them with new clothes and toys, while Poppy will teach them how to play golf. One of our favorite traditions is gathering at their house every Sunday for family dinners (Luke always uses this as an opportunity to test out new recipes)!

Our extended family includes Luke's sister, Shelby, and her husband Travis, and our nephew Bishop. They live in our city and love when we get to babysit him! In addition, our cousins Tucke r and Emily live nearby with their daughter, Evelyn. We're all so excited to have future playdates and to raise our children together!

Ellen is Logan's best friend and business partner--and she's like family to us! She's going to be such a great auntie and will always be there to offer help and ensure a child is happy and well-cared for. She can't wait to take them out shopping, for ice cream, and to the movies!

Logan's parents, Dacia and Greg, are so excited to become first-time grandparents. They will definitely play an active part in their grandchild's life and are especially looking forward to all the fun family trips and holidays we'll spend together.

We've put a lot of effort and care into making our house a home--a warm, inviting place for family and friends to gather for holidays, backyard BBQs, birthday celebrations, and more! We're just walking distance from a wonderful elementary and middle school, beautiful parks, and all kinds of fun places for the family--like a kids' gym, an ice cream shop, and a toy store!

We have a big backyard that backs up to woods and a creek. We can already imagine all the adventures a child will have exploring out there (Logan already has ideas for the fort he plans to help build).

We've created so many wonderful memories in our home, and we're looking forward to making many more as a family of three!

Benji is our extremely cuddly (and extremely cute) English Bulldog. He loves children and always has a great time playing with our nephew. Other favorite pastimes include snacking on treats, taking long walks in the neighborhood, and playing tug-of-war. He's just as excited as we are to welcome a new little person into the house, and we can't wait to go on walks together and someday watch Benji and his new friend chase each other around the backyard.

We are so excited to share the joy and fun in our lives with a child--from our homemade pizza and movie nights to Luke's family Mardi Gras parties and our backyard clambakes. We love to go all out for family trips and holidays, especially Christmas--Logan even dresses up as Santa for the kids!

We can't wait to start new traditions as a family!
