The story of how we met is different than most- Garrett and I always say it was fate. Garrett was born and raised in Lakeland, FL while I am originally from Rhode Island. I moved to Florida in 2014 for college and knew this was where I wanted to settle down. I traveled to Arizona in October of 2022 for a friend's wedding and met a couple there (Dina and Justin) that were from Lakeland, FL and we hit it off immediately. I did not think much of it and we told one another we would stay in touch after the wedding, but little did Garrett and I know they would be the reason we met. Dina and Justin invited me to a lightning game a few weeks after the wedding and invited Garrett as well. We hit it off immediately and the rest is history. It is very rare to find someone who is truly your best friend and brings out the best in you. We are forever grateful that our paths led us to one another.
