Our Wedding

While Drake and Haylie don't have a traditional love story, it's still a love that's meant to be. While long distance is no short feat for anyone, they have managed to thrive most of their relationship overcoming the distance. With Drake living out his dreams playing for the Seattle Seahawks, and Haylie helping build out a sports nutrition program at the University of Virginia, coast to coast travel in support of each other has become their new normal. With the anticipation of the wedding in full swing, so is the realization that they will finally be in the same state, wherever the crazy sports world may bring them!
