For the last 7 years of being together, we have truly experienced growing up and supporting each other through life's major hardships and achievements.

Although our families connected years prior through Brennen and Ben playing on the same baseball team, July 2017 was the first time we truly connected. We quickly bonded over our love for sports, our drive to perform well in academics, and above all, our faith in Christ.

When we started dating at 14 and 15 years old, we had to navigate our first dates around whose parents could drive us around and nosy little 11 and 12-year-old brothers picking on us during at-home movie nights. We've gone through every high school dance, learned to drive and get our licenses, supported each other at sports games, watched each other graduate high school, navigated long distance and learning to survive college, and now graduating college and entering post-grad life. We've seen each other's little brothers stay best friends and become young men (who still love to pick on us), our parents become not only our foundation of two amazing examples of marriage but family in every sense of the word, and met some amazing friends to love us along the way.

There have been a plethora of valleys in between, but the constant of being able to lean on each other for support and understanding has never ceased. It is 100% because of our closest families and friends that we are FINALLY becoming one in a few short months!! Here's to growing up together, now let's grow old together!
