Our Wedding

SWIPE RIGHT! 6 pictures, a few silly phrases, and fate are what initially brought this couple together! Sergius’s profile immediately caught Savanna’s eye. He had red hair and was tall (not as tall as initially advertised), so she was already interested. He also had on his profile that he needed a date to the weekly Pelicans games, and that sealed the swipe for our bride-to-be! Savanna’s profile highlighted her eyes and sparkly personality, and Sergius couldn’t help but notice she was a bit of a sports fan herself. After matching with each other on a popular dating app in October of 2024. Their official first date came a few days later, when they watched the Saints beat the Falcons. These lovebirds connected over their hatred of the dirty birds! Fast forward to today, the happy couple has become lovingly intertwined with each other's families, and it is clear to all that they are perfect for each other. They share so much in common, yet balance each other in all the right ways. Sergius is the calm, observant romantic who is level-headed and plans adventure and fun for the couple. Savanna is the outspoken, silly, and feisty one who will keep Sergius entertained for the rest of his days. A perfect example: Sergius plans a thoughtful date night at zoo-to-do, and Savanna somehow sneaks them into the VIP area for better drinks. Together, they’re the perfect blend of fun, adventure, and love—and they can’t wait to start their forever.
