Welcome to Team Passport!

We're hosting a friendly competition to help decide what our first year of marriage will look like. By joining Team Passport, you'll be helping Will and Echo spend long-overdue time together creating memories that will last a lifetime.

We've spent much of our relationship learning what it means to love each other from a distance. Between military deployments, long stretches apart, and the quiet in-between moments, we've learned never to take our time together for granted.

As high school sweethearts, we spent the beginning of our relationship growing up together while navigating seasons that forced us apart. Through every challenge, we've built a relationship rooted in trust, dedication, and love. On March 13, 2027, we'll not only celebrate our seventh anniversary...we'll also celebrate our next chapter as husband and wife!

After Will returned from his deployment in 2024, our focus shifted toward building a future together. Since then, we've both established our careers, purchased our first home, and begun creating the life we've always dreamed of.

Instead of a traditional registry, we're hosting this competition to help guide our goals of travel & home rennovations.

Traveling overseas has been a dream we've shared for years. We're excited to experience a culture different from our own, explore Japan's rich history and folklore, wander through beautiful shrines and gardens, and create memories that will last a lifetime. After spending so much of our relationship counting down the days until we could simply be together, this trip represents something incredibly meaningful: time, adventure, and the chance to celebrate everything we've overcome.

If Team Passport earns your vote, your generosity will help make this dream a reality by contributing toward airfare, accommodations, transportation, and unforgettable experiences throughout Japan.

Whether you choose Team Passport or Team Project, or simply celebrate alongside us, thank you for being part of our story. Your love and support mean the world to us, and we can't wait to share this next adventure with all of you.✈️
