Our Wedding

The story of Liz and Drew is one of paths barely crossing until the time was perfectly right, and their lives were unbeknownst to them on a collision course to crash into a beautiful journey together. By chance, two people raised in Tallahassee, on opposite ends of the same road no less, and both graduates of Florida State University, happened one night to meet in Atlanta over a shared love of sushi, and discover all the many ways their lives had been overlapping and intersecting without them knowing. Was it possible that Liz's previous manager was Drew's old roommate? And that the job she had in college was at the venue Drew's band frequently played? How many times did they walk past each other not knowing their destiny? More and more the two laughed and balked in amazement at the nearness they shared for so long before ever finally truly meeting!

Despite one graduating from the prestigious historical landmark of Leon High School, and the other tragically enduring high school at Leon's rival Lincoln High (notably nestled close to the State of Florida's maximum security women's penitentiary), the two bonded more over their love of Florida State and the time they each spent there, their love of the National Parks and desire to see them all, Liz's love of Christmas and Drew's willingness to climb onto the roof to hang lights in support, Liz's embrace of newly having a drum set in her home, and their many aspirations to venture into whatever happy journey life could bring them.

When the winds of life sailed their ships away from Tallahassee in nearly opposite directions it was fate that returned them to a closeness in Atlanta they could no longer avoid. Here they set out to tackle life together, wherever it may take them, and now they invite you to share in their journey, their love of their friends and family, and their desire to explore the adventures of life together in marriage, back in the place it all started: Tallahassee, Florida.
