We first crossed paths at DeSales University, where our journey began simply as friends with no idea that fate had much bigger plans. After Michael graduated, what started as occasional FaceTime calls soon grew into daily conversations that brought us closer than ever. Before long, our friendship blossomed into a deep and lasting love. After years of long distance, and moving together wherever the Army sent us, we are finally ready to gather our families and celebrate the love that carried us through it all. We are forever grateful to be not only partners, but best friends who found home in one another.
