—

Allan and Emily’s love story began in the most unexpected way—through a shared love of video games. Introduced by a mutual friend, they spent countless hours talking and playing online, building a connection that quickly turned into a crush. After years of friendship, they finally met in person, and Allan knew right away that Emily was The One—a partner he’d happily bet everything on.

One of their most memorable adventures together was a trip to Ocracoke Island and the Outer Banks. They spent their days hiking, swimming in the ocean, and playing cards on the ferry, and their nights marveling at shooting stars and the milky way under the North Carolina sky. It was a trip filled with laughter and fun, where they both knew they were holding a winning hand.

Allan’s family has farmed in North Carolina for generations, and it was on his family’s farmland—where his parents and grandparents each began their lives together—that he asked Emily to marry him. She said yes, surrounded by the history and love that shaped his roots.

A few months before their engagement, Allan and Emily moved in together near Emily’s family, and their lives have felt perfectly in sync ever since. They know that God brought them together, weaving their lives in ways only He could. Their connection is so strong that they often don’t need words to understand each other, finishing each other’s sentences or saying the same thing at the same time. It’s clear to everyone around them that they’re soulmates, two hearts in a perfect suit.

Now, they’re thrilled to begin this new chapter as husband and wife and can’t wait to celebrate their love with all of you.
