Our Forever Begins Here
It all started in high school, where they first crossed paths in their sophomore year. Initially, they didn't speak much, just passing each other in the hallways and sharing a few classes. It wasn't until right after senior year that they reconnected through a mutual friend. As they spent more time together through the transitions into the working world, they realized how much they enjoyed each other's company. They supported each other through new jobs and celebrated each other's achievements. Their bond grew stronger with each passing day. After graduation, they stayed together. Their relationship continued to flourish as they lived together and moved to Texas. They have been inseparable ever since. Their journey from high school acquaintances to lifelong partners is a testament to their enduring love and commitment to each other.
