In our final year of high school, we crossed paths during the homecoming football game. We happened upon each other as we were looking to leave and snuggled under the big umbrella Alyssa was carrying to escape the rain. We made a promise to catch up at the dance when we parted ways in the middle of the game, and we followed through. We had a great time dancing, laughing, and taking photos. We would share our first kiss after Alyssa drove Brian home after the dance.

October 21, 2013 we began dating and now the rest is history. Together, we experienced many firsts, such as our first attempts at saying "I love you" or navigating a long-distance relationship.

Each adventure that we had strengthened us and deepened our love. We cannot wait to celebrate our forever with you!
