Six years ago, we met as neighbors, both mowing our backyards. I didn’t think much at first, but the closer I got, the more I realized I loved everything about her—her smile, her hair, her chill personality. Our first conversations were funny and awkward, but spending time with her felt effortless, and I knew I wanted more. I’ll never forget our first night out one-on-one… even with our Uber driver crashing into a ditch, it felt like everything was right. Over the years, we’ve grown together, supporting each other, loving each other for who we are, and pushing each other to be our best. Every day with her reminds me we’re meant to be together, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life as her husband.

Once upon a time, a girl moved home from college and met the boy next door. What started as simple neighborly hellos soon turned into something much more. With the help of a few dogs and the kindness of him looking after them while she was away, their paths kept crossing in the sweetest ways. Little by little, friendship grew into love, and love became a story they knew was meant to last forever.

Now, the girl and the boy next door are ready to begin their greatest adventure yet—happily ever after, together.
