Our love story began in high school in 2016, where we first met and became a part of each other’s daily lives. We shared classes together every year, and despite his reluctance at times, he would always drive me home. Looking back, those small moments built the foundation of what would later become something truly special.

Though life took us on different paths after high school, we found our way back to each other in 2023 and officially began dating on November 11, 2023. Our relationship quickly became a testament to love, patience, and commitment as we navigated long distance, with him being in the military. We made it a priority to see each other at least once a month, no matter the challenges.

Over the course of that first year together, we created unforgettable memories. We traveled to the Dominican Republic, explored Nashville, Tennessee, on countless dates, and, most significantly, he proposed in the most magical way—on a mountaintop during a breathtaking light show in Gatlinburg on November 9, 2024.

Now engaged, we look forward to building a life together filled with love, laughter, and endless adventures. Our dream is to grow old together, nurturing a bond that only strengthens with time. We plan to start a family of our own, raising children and creating a home full of warmth and happiness.

Our journey has been anything but conventional, but it’s ours, and we wouldn’t change a thing. It’s a story of love that started years ago, survived the miles between us, and continues to grow with every step we take together.
