Our Wedding

Ridge and I met when we were 15, and it didn't take long before Ridge made Louisiana feel like home. From the start, everything between us just felt easy, the kind of friendship that turned into something more without us even realizing it.	From Friday night football games and school dances to long summer drives with no destination, we grew up together. Over the last six years, we've shared a lot of laughs, lessons, and built something steady and real along the way.	Now, as we get ready to get married, it's crazy to look back at where it all started, two kids at 15 who had no idea what was ahead, to now best friends about to start our forever. We're so thankful for every moment that's brought us here and we can't wait to share this next chapter with everyone who's been part of our story along the way.XOXO Emily and Ridge
