It all started on July 5th, 2019, in a park. I was 15, and he was 14—way too young to know anything about love, but old enough to do what every kid does when they meet someone: exchange numbers. Super casual, right? We were just two kids living our best lives, thinking this was going to be some fleeting friendship, not realizing we were about to embark on a journey that would last forever.

Fast forward to the plot twist—we were both completely confused. It was like that classic moment where you’re like, “Yeah, no. This isn’t gonna work. We’re just not there yet.” So we decided to hit pause, tell ourselves that if it was meant to be, it would happen again later.

And, lo and behold, it did.

On May 3rd, 2021, we made it official, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. Seriously, inseparable. From our first awkward texts (we’re not going to mention those) to our first date (which, spoiler alert, was low-key amazing), we quickly realized that we were in this together for the long haul.

Over the years, we’ve shared some pretty huge milestones. My graduation, his graduation, moving—a LOT of moving—getting our first dog (he’s basically a toddler, but we love him), finding our first apartment, and finally, buying our first home. Through it all, we’ve grown up together, learned together, and, most importantly, made the choice to love each other every single day, even when life gets a little chaotic (and trust us, it does!).

Looking back, no one—not even us—would’ve guessed we’d be here, planning our wedding, living the dream. We’ve had our fair share of ups and downs, and honestly, at first, neither of us thought we’d make it this far. But here we are, ready to take the biggest step of all.

Thank you to every single person reading this. If you're here, it means you've been a part of our journey in some way. You've made an impact on our story, and we’re so grateful for each of you. Whether you've been there through the high school drama, the move-in day mishaps, or the countless late-night talks, you’ve been part of this wild ride we call love.

And here we are, at the start of the next chapter. We don’t know what the future holds, but we’re in it together, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.

Here’s to love, laughter, and the journey ahead!
