We're getting married!

They say there's an invisible string connecting those who are meant to be- stretching between time, space and childhood fence's . Talking across the fence and sharing the same 1st grade class was just the beginning. As Alli & Billy grew up they remained in the same friend circles, but everything changed in 6th grade when they landed in the same class again. Sitting with their desks side by side, this was the year they really became close-best friends who just got eachother. By the time they got to 9th grade, that invisible string pulled a little tighter. The feelings between the two just couldn't be held in anymore. They spent the entire year getting to know each other on a different level, walking the halls between classes, texting non-stop and face timing late into the night. However, by the end of the school year things just didn't work out in their favor, and they ended up spending the summer apart. The start of Sophmore year, the feelings they had for eachother still remained and they were brought back together. Alli and Billy officially started dating on October 24, 2016. After a few months of dating, Alli thought it was in her best interest to end their relationship. Why? Who knows. She was only 15.. so lets cut her some slack. For the next month they were not on talking terms, but God had other plans in store for them. On Alli's 16th birthday, Billy showed up to her birthday party, and it was like no time had passed. They fell right back into the same routine. June 16th, 2017 Billy had asked Alli to be his girlfriend...again, and of course she said yes. That was 8 years ago. They've been together ever since. Growing from children to teenagers and into adults together. From classmates to life partners. How special is it to be able to share all life's important moments, between Friday night football games, proms, and high school graduation in 2019. In just that amount of time they went from childhood friends to highschool sweethearts. I guess you could say they're also college sweet hearts, both graduating from Wilkes University in 2023. Alli and Billy have always known that what they have is rare- the kind of love that feels like it was always meant to be. The connection between the two just always came easy and natural. Finally, after years and years on December 16, 2024, Billy gave Alli what she had always dreamed of (and definitely pestered him A LOT about... for a LONG time).... An engagement ring. And now, they are stepping into forever- with that invisible string still wrapped gently around them. They are so excited to celebrate their next chapter, surrounded by the people who have been apart of their story all along.
