Our Wedding

We met at my Lily's brother’s wedding. Lily was a bridesmaid, and Cooper was the best man. At first, it was just small talk, but we instantly clicked. We talked and laughed all weekend; it felt easy and fun. By the time the wedding was over, we didn’t want to stop talking.Even though we’ve been long-distance the whole time, it never felt hard. We stayed connected, kept talking, and got closer with each passing day. Now, we’re finally ready to close the distance and start the next chapter together—no more miles between us. What started at a wedding is now the beginning of forever.
