We met in high school through a shared love of video games and quickly became best friends. Our very first date was simple and sweet, watching fireworks on the Fourth of July. Over the years, our bond only grew stronger, even as life took us down different paths. For nearly five years, we navigated a long-distance relationship while Noah served in the Navy and we pursued our individual dreams.

Despite the miles between us, our love never wavered. Each visit, plane ride, phone call, and message reminded us why we were meant to be. In July 2024, during a beautiful vacation, Noah proposed, and of course, I said yes!

Now, we're finally living in Norfolk, planning our future together, and so excited to celebrate this next chapter with the people we love most.
