We met in 2011 when Zuriel started attending the church I grew up going to. Naturally, at ages 11 and 12 we got on each other's nerves and did not get along for a while. Zuriel eventually couldn't resist my good looks and told me he liked me probably 4 times, but unfortunately, I turned him down each time.

October 9th, 2015 we went to one of my high school football games with my friend and his cousin. This is when it hit me that I had started to like him. After that, we started talking more and more, and then finally on January 10th, 2016, he asked me to be his girlfriend at 15 and 16 years old (I know... we were babies).

We have grown up together and gone through many phases of life from graduating high school, Zuriel joining the Navy, me graduating from undergrad, and recently from PT school and everything in between. We've spent a lot of our relationship apart from each other, at various distances for varying amounts of time. Through it all we've created so many memories and done so many fun things together. We became self-proclaimed food critics, went to a lot of rodeos, many concerts, road trips, line dancing, and so much more.

Now as high school sweethearts who are 24 and 25 years old we could not be more excited to be getting married and hope you're all as excited to celebrate with us!
