We met young—just two kids crossing paths at 15 and 16, unaware that fate had already begun to weave us together. Years passed, and at 18 and 19, we finally saw what had been there all along. From that moment, we chose each other, without hesitation, without looking back.

We were just kids who had no idea what we were doing, but together, we always figured it out. Even when we were broke, exhausted, grieving, or questioning our purpose, we stood by each other. We have seen each other at our highest highs and lowest lows, and through it all, we stayed. Because that is true love—the kind that doesn’t waver, the kind that endures. The house doesn’t fall when the bones are good.

Life moved quickly, as it often does when love is certain. We built a life together, moving from one place to the next until we finally found the home we could call ours. Along the way, we welcomed our greatest joy—our daughter—while our two dogs kept our days full of laughter and chaos. We've grown, not just side by side, but together, shaping each other into who we are today.

Now, with all that we've shared and all that we dream of, we step into forever—hand in hand, just as we always have.
