It all started senior year in high school when we were assigned to the same group to adapt a Shakespeare play into a short film. We spent multiple afternoons, evenings and weekends together creating what we ended up calling "To Bat or Not to Bat". As you can guess from the title, we made a Batman spoof outlining the final three acts of Hamlet.

Today we cherish the memories of when we first began to get to know one another during that project. Our personalities seemed to match extremely well, and we quickly became good friends. It was almost uncanny how easy it felt to talk with one another about generally anything. We both felt as if we had known each other for years even though we only started speaking our final semester of high school.

The summer before college came all too quickly, and we were not attending the same universities after graduating. Even though we were developing strong feelings for one another, it didn't feel right to start a relationship before going to attend different colleges. Too much was unknown, and we didn't want to hold each other back from having new experiences. Despite the decision being incredibly difficult, we believed with all our hearts that if we were meant to be together, then eventually we would be.

A great deal has happened since the day we said goodbye as college freshmen. We lived several of the following years completely apart without hardly any communication. After some time had passed, fate decided to reconnect us as great friends again. Then later down the road, after experiencing a global pandemic and supporting one another through truly difficult times, eventually we realized that our connection was too strong to ignore.

We have been in a loving and committed relationship for over four years now. Sharing this time together has been wonderful and we’re truly blessed. We support one another's independence and challenge each other to grow in positive ways. There has been love, but also, there has been true friendship. This has been the type of relationship we always dreamed of having. It has been built with respect, encouragement, laughter, movies and endless board games.

Our hearts are bursting with excitement for our wedding day! With a love story so long in the making, we're truly over the moon thinking about celebrating this occasion with all our loved ones. We'd like to thank each and every one of you in advance for planning on attending. We can't wait to see you all soon!
