It was during our junior year of high school that fate brought us together, igniting a love that would flourish through the years. We began dating that same year, and as we walked across the graduation stage hand in hand, we were excited to embark on our next adventure—college, where our schools were just thirty minutes apart. I cherished every moment spent cheering him on as he played college baseball, his passion lighting up the field. Throughout my challenging journey in nursing school, he remained my steadfast supporter, always by my side, lifting me up when I needed it most. The day before we graduated from college, he whisked me away to our favorite date spot in Greenville, South Carolina, surrounded by our loved ones. In a moment filled with love and happiness, he got down on one knee and proposed, sealing our commitment to one another. Now, as we build our lives together in Charleston, starting our careers and planning our wedding, I can't help but feel grateful for the beautiful journey we've shared so far.
