Some love stories start with chance encounters, but ours began with a shared hallway in high school. Back then, we were just two teenagers navigating pop quizzes, Friday night football games, and awkward school dances. Little did we know, those moments would lay the foundation for something extraordinary.

We met freshman year in Dr. Khres health class. At the time, we were just friends and crossed paths every now and again. Through the years laughs, inside jokes, and Just Dance days progressed into easy smiles, sly glances, and hearts skipping beats when we were around each other. By the end of junior year, it was us against the world and the love one only shares in the best cliche rom-com films.

College brought its own challenges and with it came new adventures, growing, and turning from immature kids to adults. But, No matter the anxieties and stress, we always found peace in each other. After undergrad came the big move. We went to Davenport, IA and spent three years learning each other away from family and friends and with all things new. Whether it was figuring out dinner each night, enjoying hockey dates, or trying to figure out how to unclog a toliet; we realized every moment felt right as long as we had each other.

And here we are now—about to say “I do” to forever with our favorite people by our side. Our journey has been filled with laughter, love, and so many memories, and we’re beyond grateful to have you with us as we take this next step.

Thank you for being part of our lives and this day—it wouldn’t be the same without you.

With all our love,

Kailey & Steven
