We were just kids when we met, 14 years old, with lockers down the hall from each other and schedules full of homework and after-school chaos. At first, it was just glances and shy conversations. But soon enough, we were inseparable. Walking to class together, texting late into the night, and slowly realizing that what we had was something different.

High school passed by in a blur of football games, late-night study sessions, and weekend adventures. We grew up together in those years, learning not just who we were as individuals, but who we could be as a team. We celebrated each other's wins, picked each other up after the losses, and built a trust that felt unshakable.

Then came college, and with it, distance. Suddenly, we were in different states living different lives, and it was hard. Harder than we thought it would be. Some nights, the distance felt endless, and days when all we wanted was to be in the same place. But we learned how to make it work. FaceTime calls til we fell asleep, occasional visits that made the miles worth it, and the constant knowledge that no matter how far apart we were, we were still moving forward together.

Now, here we are. Still in college, but ready for the next step. From two tiny teenagers figuring out what they want to be when they grow up, to being the grown-ups ready to build lives together. Every twist and turn has led us to this point. And now, we get to start the best chapter yet, as husband and wife.
