The first time we met was through mutual friends back in 2019. We knew of each other but never much more than that until summer of 2021 when we began hanging out through mutual friends again and instantly clicked. We were such close friends before entering anything more than that, which we are so thankful for. All of our close friends and family knew that we were meant to be before we even realized it based on how we looked at each other, spoke to each other, and overall interacted with one another. Our relationship has always been based on friendship first, which is the most important factor in any relationship. Once we did begin dating months later, we had such a solid foundation built that we were confident in each other as partners. Throughout the years our friendship and partnership has only grown stronger. Our love story will always be so important to us and we are so happy that when we say "I'm marrying my best friend" we truly mean it. Over the years we have been by each other's side through so many monumental milestones. From graduating college, starting our own careers, adopting fur babies, living with each other, and so much more. Every chapter has gotten us to this point and we are so excited to see how our story will continue.
