Our Story

How we got here

What started as one night on a dance floor turned into a life neither of us could have planned. In just a few years, we went from two strangers to boyfriends, roommates, dog dads, and now—fiancés. Looking back, it's the little moments that feel the most extraordinary.

June 18, 2022
It Started on the Dance Floor
We met on the dance floor on June 18th, 2022 — the first night William ever came to Downtown St. Pete. Neither of us knew it then, but that night would become the beginning of something much bigger than either of us expected.
July 5, 2022
The First Commitment
A few weeks later, we made it official and asked each other to be boyfriends. We had no idea where this was going—we just knew we wanted to find out together.
February 3, 2023
Ollie Joins the Family
Then came Ollie. Our black Lab became our first little adventure as a family, filling our home with muddy paws, unconditional love, and more energy than we could have imagined.
March 12, 2023
Home Is Wherever We Are
We moved in together and started creating a life under the same roof. Somewhere between the ordinary days, shared routines, and countless memories, we realized we weren't just building a home—we were building a life.
June 26, 2025
Bennie Makes Four
Two years later, our family grew again when we rescued Bennie, our Goldendoodle. With Ollie and Bennie by our side, our little family somehow became even fuller, louder, and more chaotic.
July 3, 2026
The First "Yes"
William asked Koby to marry him. It was the easiest question ever answered and the beginning of our favorite chapter yet.
August 21, 2026
Then Koby Had a Question, Too
And because one proposal apparently wasn't enough, Koby asked William to marry him, too. Two proposals. Two very happy "yeses." One forever.
Forever
The Best Is Still Ahead
From a dance floor to a shared home, from two to four paws, and from boyfriends to fiancés, every chapter has led us here. We've grown, laughed, traveled, built a family, and chosen each other again and again.

And now, we get to spend the rest of our lives doing exactly that. We can't wait to see what comes next!

FAQs

Good to know

What should I wear?

Garden Party · Semi-Formal

Think romantic garden party meets early autumn soirée. 🌿🍂 We're envisioning varieties of warm earth tones, rich autumn colors, elevated fabrics, and polished garden-party looks.

Please refrain from wearing white or denim clothing. We aim for a diverse color palette that is fun and avoids formal black ensembles. No black suits or tuxes please.

Need a little inspiration? Check out our vision board for the colors, textures, and overall vibe we have in mind. We can't wait to see how you interpret it!

What are the plans for Friday night?

Welcome Party · Friday at 6:00 PM

Let's kick off the wedding weekend together! We'll meet downtown at the St. Pete Pier for drinks, small bites, and plenty of time to mingle before the big day. Bring your walking shoes!

The couple will wrap up around 10:00 PM, giving everyone plenty of time to relax, explore, or continue the evening on their own.

Looking for somewhere to go? Check out the Recommendations tab for some of Koby & William's favorite St. Pete restaurants, bars, and spots.

Is there an after-party on Saturday?

Absolutely!! 🥂

Once our celebration wraps up at 8:00pm, we'll be heading downtown St. Pete to keep the celebrating going.

What's happening on Sunday?

Beach Day · Sunday at 11:00 AM

We're ending the weekend exactly how we think a Florida engagement weekend should end: at the beach. ☀️🌴

Join us at Caddy's Treasure Island at 11:00 AM for a relaxed beach day with everyone before we say our final goodbyes.

Come in your beachwear, bring your sunscreen, and stay as long as you'd like!

Is there a registry?

No registry — just your presence. ❤️

Having you with us to celebrate is truly the greatest gift we could ask for.

We won't have a traditional registry. If you'd like to give us something, we'd be incredibly grateful for a contribution toward our elopement and honeymoon fund as we begin this next chapter together.

But truly, your presence means more to us than anything you could give.

What should I do while I'm in St. Pete?

Make a weekend out of it!

St. Petersburg is a huge part of our story, and we'd love for you to experience some of the places we love most.

Visit the Recommendations tab for Koby & William's favorite restaurants, bars, beaches, coffee shops, and local gems.

Come for the wedding. Stay for the sunshine.

Where should I fly to?

Tampa (TPA) or St. Petersburg–Clearwater (PIE) airports are both about a 20 minute drive from downtown St. Pete, where most of the festivities are. Ubers are usually cheap and readily available at both airports and around downtown.

Where should I stay?

The fiancés are still finalizing group rates for hotels and/or Airbnb's and will send out options soon! Staying downtown St. Pete or further down Central Avenue will keep you close to most events.

A few thoughts

Your presence is the greatest gift. As the couple prepares for their elopement and honeymoon, there will be no traditional registry. For those who wish to celebrate with a gift, contributions toward their upcoming adventure are warmly welcomed.
