Our Wedding

Starting out as freshmen at Boardman High School, we quickly found our way into the same friend group. Throughout the next four years, we grew close with those around us hosting Friendsgiving and game nights. Once we graduated in 2016, we each went our separate ways to college. Over the next four years there was intermittent conversation until one summer we found ourselves both back in Youngstown at the same time needing to catch up. A lot had happened to us personally and it was refreshing to share these experiences with someone you had a history with. Over many shared meals and long-distance drives it quickly became evident that there was more to the friendship. So much has happened over the last two years and every minute we have been thankful for. We have shared in the joy and despair and have been able to help each other rework ourselves to become better individuals. We are so excited for the future and cannot wait to look back in five or ten years and see how much we have changed and grown.
