We met on a community bike ride in the summer of 2021, run by one of our favorite breweries in Durham. Soon after, we joined a kickball league with a bunch of mutual buddies and sparked an incredible friendship. Though our friends saw it entirely differently, we swore we would never begin a relationship as the friendship we had built seemed too important to risk losing. After a few years of becoming the best of friends, we slowly came to realize we were meant to be together. Since then, we have had even more fun, many more beautiful adventures, and continued to show up for each other in new ways. We cannot wait to marry each other and are beyond excited to celebrate with the friends and family we hold so dear!
