It all started way back in middle school, where we first met and became friends. Life took us in different directions for a while, but fate (and a well-timed text) brought us back together. After nearly two years of no contact, he reached out, and soon after, he came over for a Memorial Day cookout with my family. One weekend turned into every weekend, and just two weeks later, we made it official—we were dating!

From there, our story has been filled with so many incredible moments. Whether we’re watching our favorite shows, building Legos, opening Pokémon cards, or going on long drives just to talk about everything and nothing, every moment together is an adventure. We’ve traveled to Florida, screamed our hearts out at a Twenty One Pilots concert, and bonded over our shared love of food (because let’s be honest, eating together is one of our favorite things).

Then, one special night at a family dinner with my family, he asked the question that changed everything. Surrounded by love, holiday magic, and the people who mean the most to us, I said yes!

Now, we’re so excited for this next chapter—getting married and celebrating with all of you!
