Our Wedding

Our story began in 2023 when our paths crossed at just the right time. Skylar was attending the University of Montevallo, where she was a member of the Track &amp; Field team and competed as a pole vaulter. Griffin was serving as a Firefighter while completing Paramedic school. From the moment we met, there was an undeniable connection, and what started as a simple introduction quickly became the beginning of our forever. Over the past two and a half years, we have built a life filled with love, laughter, adventure, and countless memories. We share a passion for staying active, traveling, and spending quality time together. At the center of our little family are our two beloved cats, Coco and Tyson, who bring us endless joy and keep life entertaining. What began as love at first sight has grown into a partnership built on friendship, support, and unwavering love. We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter with our family and friends as we say “I do.”
