We met in a way neither of us ever expected—online. In February of 2021, a simple connection turned into a conversation that neither of us wanted to end. Just a couple of months later, on April 29th, 2021, we had our very first date at Char, a cozy little spot that would unknowingly mark the beginning of something extraordinary. We laughed, we talked for hours, and in the middle of all the fun, Reese looked at me and asked, “So… are we deleting the app or what?” Without hesitation, I said, “Yes!” and just like that—the rest was history.

From that moment on, life moved quickly, but it moved beautifully. We knew we had found something rare, something we didn’t want to let go of. Over the years, we’ve built a life that feels like home—full of love, laughter, adventure, and unforgettable memories. We’ve celebrated kids’ graduations, milestone birthdays, traveled the world together, bought our first home, and even taped an episode of House Hunters! Every step along the way has only confirmed what we knew from the very start: we were meant to do life together.

Now, as we approach our five-year anniversary on May 1st, 2026, we’re not just celebrating time—we’re celebrating a lifetime to come. On that day, we’ll officially become one beautifully blended family continuing this incredible journey the only way we know how—the Cierra and Reese way.

And if you know us, you know that a traditional wedding was never in the cards. We’ve always danced to the beat of our own drum, so of course, our wedding will reflect that. We’re heading to the bright lights of Las Vegas to say “I Do”—Vegas style! Just the two of us, in a city as vibrant and bold as our love.

But don’t worry—while the ceremony may be intimate, the celebration is far from over. We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you—our amazing friends and family—before we take off to start this exciting new chapter together. Get ready for love, laughter, and a lot of fun, because that’s the only way we know how to do it.
