Our journey began back in 2016, in the halls of high school, where Brenden and I became best friends. From the start, we were able to be our whole, authentic selves around each other. We shared laughter, late-night talks, and the kind of comfort that only true friendship brings. Little did we know, this friendship was the foundation for something so much deeper.

On May 27th, 2017, our bond transformed into a beautiful love story. That day marked the beginning of an adventure that has over eight years — and what an incredible eight years it’s been. We’ve grown together, laughed together, and built a life filled with memories that we will cherish forever.

Looking back at our story, we feel so incredibly lucky and grateful. To have found someone who allows you to be truly yourself, who laughs with you when you're at your silliest, and holds you when life gets tough — this is a rare gift, and we don’t take it for granted. We thank God every day for bringing us together, for gifting us this love that is so pure and so real.

As we look ahead to the next chapter of our lives, we’re filled with excitement and joy. We can’t wait to marry our best friend and continue this beautiful journey we’ve started together. The best is yet to come, and we are so thankful to share it with everyone!
