Our parents met when we were 3 & 4 years old. They quickly became friends, and as both of our families continued to grow, so did all of our friendships. All of us kids loved hanging out with each other on joint summer vacations, during recess at school, or at each other’s houses during our parents’ euchre tournaments or our birthday parties.

The two of us remained close friends throughout high-school and college, but didn’t start dating until the summer of 2020, after one of our joint family vacations in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Three years later, we got engaged in the same place and are still best friends just as much as we are in love.

Thank you to everyone who has always supported our relationship and helped us become the people we are and get to where we are today.

Special shoutout to our parents for getting the ball rolling in 2001 :) 23 years down and a lifetime to go <3
