If our parents are reading this, they’ll be happy to see that we can finally admit we didn’t always make the smartest decisions in high school. But choosing each other? Easily the best one we ever made.

Hop into the wayback machine with us and picture the year 2011. Game of Thrones was premiering, LMFAO was Party Rocking, and a certain blonde 15 year old was crushing on a redhead she’d seen in the hallway. One mutual friend introduction later (thanks again, Sid), that crush became full blown first love. We’ve even got the prom photos to prove it.

After years of being friends across state lines — and never really getting over each other — Leah decided to head home to North Carolina. Before she even found a new apartment, we were back together, and have been inseparable ever since.

On the way to “dinner” Siri accidentally spoiled Colin’s proposal spot when she started reading the directions out loud. One very nervous car ride, three and a half years of dating, and thirteen years of knowing each other later, we said yes to forever. And the rest is soon to be history!

We can’t think of a better way to start the next chapter than surrounded by the ones we love most. Thank you all so much — we can't wait to celebrate!
