After meeting in the 5th grade, we instantly became best friends throughout middle school and high school. We were inseparable and so deep in the friend zone, we won "should've been a couple" for our high school senior polls. Following high school, we went our separate ways yet remained close friends. Years went by and that friendship slowly started to turn into a loving relationship. We finally realized that our person has been in front of us the whole time.

During our favorite holiday season, we decided to go see the Christmas tree in Union Square with our friends Kelly and Ken. While we were posing for a photo, he got down on one knee with a ring in his hand and told me he couldn't imagine spending the rest of his life without me. I shouted "ABSOLUTELY" and we were engaged. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you. See you where we fell in love!
