Our story’s prologue begins in the Fall of 2018, but Chapter 1 did not start until the pandemic brought us even closer two years later.

We went through our struggles together, which involved driving between Atlanta and Columbia to see each other, and one of us working days while the other worked nights, but these struggles helped us forge an even stronger bond.

After two years of aquarium dates, German market visits, dinner outings, and listening to every song in Taylor Swift's discography, we took a visit to Michigan, where we would make two major decisions to change our lives. The first was to make Ann Arbor our new home, and the second was an agreement to take on whatever life had prepared for us together.
