Our story starts where so many good things do — at a wedding with some wonderful friends. Brady and I were part of the same circle of friends, a group held together by the kind of bonds that don't need much explanation. When Michael asked Brady to stand beside him as best man, and Kylee asked me to stand with her, none of us could have known just how pivotal that day would become — not just for them, but for all of us. Life had pulled our group in different directions for a while, but Michael and Kylee's wedding brought us back together. From the moment Brady and I were reunited in that celebration of love, we haven't spent a day apart since. We owe so much of our story to two incredible friends who, without even trying, gave us each other. And now, we're getting married on the fifth anniversary of the day after their wedding — the day that was quietly, perfectly, the first day of forever for Brady and me.
