Your inspiration for the wedding: “Teamwork! Kenii was 100% involved in all of the planning.”

How you met: “I was 18 and walked into a new gym, he was the trainer and terrified me! After some hand-to-hand combat, I left there forever impressed. It didn’t take long to connect through social media! We spent nearly 5 years disconnected and in different states before reconnecting and eloping in the same year! We just celebrated an amazing 10 years while renewing our vows in the beautiful state of Alaska. Alaska is where we started our family and shared our fondest memories together. It was the perfect day and were happy to share it with our family and closest friends.”

How they proposed: “I proposed to him after anticipating his proposal!”

Any other fun memories/moments from the day: “We have the coolest crew!!”
