What started as a simple conversation turned into something extraordinary. One first date led to many more, filled with laughter, shared dreams, and quiet moments that made us feel at home. While I was living in Tampa attending USF, he made three-hour drives just to see me. Through the distance, busy schedules, and everything in between, our love kept growing stronger. We fell for each other slowly and deeply between basketball games, weekend visits, and the comfort of knowing we had something real. Before we even got engaged, we were already dreaming of forever because we knew. Now, two years later, we're getting ready to say “I do,” and we couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter.
