Our Wedding

Once upon a time, in the hallways of seventh grade, two young hearts found each other. We were each other’s first love—the kind that feels like a whirlwind of emotions—exciting, nerve-wracking, and impossibly magical all at once. It’s the rush of butterflies when you see them in the hallway, the excitement of having majority of your classes together, and the thrill of sitting next to one another when we got the chance. It was innocent and pure, built on laughter, inside jokes, and long conversations about everything that feels important at that age. It was stolen glances across the classroom, blushing when our friends would tease us, and the nervous energy when we would say bye to one another after being walked to class. It was fragile yet unforgettable, a feeling so new and overwhelming that it carved a permanent place in our hearts, no matter where life took us. 	From shy glances to endless conversations about everything and nothing, our story began with innocence, laughter, and promises. But as life often does, it led us in different directions. We grew, we changed, and for a time, our story became two separate journeys. Years passed, seasons changed, and though we drifted apart, God had other plans. Somehow, through all the twists and turns, we found our way back to each other. And this time, it wasn’t just a childhood dream—it was real, it was right, and it was meant to be. 	Now, as we prepare to say "I do," we celebrate a love that has stood the test of time—a love that began in a middle school classroom and, against all odds, found its way home.
