Our story began in the halls of Glenbard West High School in our hometown of Glen Ellyn. We officially started dating in 2015, embarking on a journey that would weave through the challenges of long-distance as we attended different universities (University of Chicago & Butler University). Upon graduating college, we decided to make New York City our new home. In the heart of Tribeca, we experienced numerous "firsts" together — from moving away from home and securing our first apartment together, to landing new jobs, exploring a new city, and welcoming our adorable puppy Etta into our lives. This fall, we returned to our roots in Chicago, ready to continue our story as best friends turned life partners. We could not be more excited for this next chapter and are grateful to be sharing it with you.
