Our Wedding

About 4 years ago, the Army moved Eamonn to Columbus, Georgia for some training. Eamonn unfortunately did not have a house yet, and was offered accommodations by his good friend, Josh, who had also just moved from Lousianna to Georgia.On that same timeline 4 years ago, Sydney decided to take a trip to visit her good friend Lauren before she had her first baby. The plan was to prep the house and make some freezer meals to help make Lauren's postpartum experience a little easier.The problem was, Josh and Lauren are married and promised the guest room to two different people at the same time! Eamonn's house was ready the day before Sydney flew in, however, he came over every night to play games, eat dinner, and visit with the girl he thought he would never see again.A couple months later, Eamonn bravely messaged Sydney on Facebook and we have been together ever since! Tons of travel, long distance dating, moving across country twice, a deployment, a baby, and lots of adventures in between. With all of the excitement, we decided to get married this past year, however, we are back in Ohio and ready to celebrate a reception with all of you!

Bill Walsh

Bill and Sara have been significant people in both of our lives! Eamonn met Bill when they were both stationed in Louisiana. Sara has been telling Sydney how to do things for years, she might as well tell her how to do a wedding. They have both been beyond helpful in the planning of this reception.
