Our Wedding

Maia and Bradly first met in the busy halls of Burlington Christian Academy in 2012. Neither of them could have imagined that a simple meeting would lead to something so special. Maia’s laughter and bright eyes caught Bradly’s attention, and what started as a friendship soon grew into something much deeper. In the summer of 2018, surrounded by family and friends in Wilmington, NC, they officially became a couple. From that day forward, their lives were filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. When Bradly’s career brought him to Atlanta, it wasn’t long before Maia followed, having completed graduate school. Together, they made the city their home, blending their dreams into the heartbeat of Atlanta. In March 2024, under the city lights of New York, Bradly asked Maia to spend the rest of her life with him. With tears in her eyes, she said yes, and they embraced their future together. Now, as they prepare for the next chapter of their lives, Maia and Bradly invite you to join them in Italy, where they will exchange vows and celebrate their love in the beautiful hills of Puglia. Their story is one of love and commitment, and they’re excited to share this moment with the people who mean the most to them.

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Craig for over 10 years, dating back to our college days. Over the years, Craig has been more than just a friend—he’s been a constant source of inspiration. What stands out most to me is his authenticity. He’s someone who is unwaveringly true to himself and those around him, never afraid to speak his mind or stand by his values. But what really sets Craig apart is his incredible mindset of personal growth. He’s always striving to be better—whether that’s in his career, his relationships, or his own self-awareness. His belief that everything will fall into place with hard work and a positive attitude is contagious, and it's one of the reasons why he's such an important part of my life. I’m incredibly grateful to have Craig as a best friend and a best man.
