Our story starts in middle school- when a shy smile was enough to spark a relationship. A time when “dating” meant passing folded notes in hallways, Friday night movies, and coming up with creative excuses to be nearby (like sharing a locker with a friend strategically placed next to your crush). At the time, it felt like the start of forever.

But life had other plans. A move to Chicago, college, and building careers took us down separate paths.

Fast forward ten years: one simple Snapchat turned into hours of catching up. It didn’t take long to realize that while we had grown so much on our own, we were finally ready to grow together.

We couldn’t be more grateful for the winding road that brought us back to each other. And now we’re here—counting down the days until we get to say “I do” and celebrate this next chapter with all of you by our side!
