Our Wedding

We started as best friends.The kind who talked about everything, laughed at nothing, and somehow always found our way back to each other.We weren’t looking for love — we were just being us. Showing up, sending memes, having late-night conversations, and becoming each other’s safe place without even realizing it.Then somewhere between the inside jokes and the “you’re the first person I want to tell” moments… something shifted.Turns out, the person you trust the most, laugh the hardest with, and can’t imagine a day without might actually be your forever.Falling in love with your best friend doesn’t feel dramatic or complicated — it feels steady. Easy. Like coming home.And now we get to promise forever to the person who has known us through our worst, loved us at our best, and chosen us every single day.

Vulcan is the iconic symbol of Birmingham, Alabama — a colossal 56-foot tall statue of the Roman god of fire and forge, and the largest cast-iron statue in the world. Designed by Italian sculptor Giuseppe Moretti and cast from locally produced iron for the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, Vulcan was intended to showcase Birmingham’s iron and steel industrial roots. Since the late 1930s he has stood atop Red Mountain overlooking the city, anchoring Vulcan Park and Museum, where visitors can explore interactive exhibits on local history and enjoy panoramic views of Birmingham

Vulcan Park and Museum

Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark in Birmingham, Alabama, is a preserved iron-making blast furnace complex that operated from 1882 until 1971 and played a central role in the city’s rise as an industrial powerhouse. Founded by Colonel James Withers Sloss to take advantage of the region’s rich iron-ore, coal, and limestone resources, the site produced pig iron for nearly a century and helped shape the economic growth of Birmingham and the broader “Magic City.” After iron production ceased, the complex was saved from demolition, designated a National Historic Landmark in 1981, and transformed into a museum and cultural center where visitors can explore industrial history, attend community events, and learn about the labor and technology that powered the iron industry.
