Our story begins the way many great love stories do - with a friendship. We met years ago and instantly became best friends. The kind of friends who could talk for hours about anything and everything - and often did. Some of our favorite memories are from long conversations sitting outside his parent's house, just enjoying each other’s company without ever realizing we were already building the foundation of something much bigger. The truth is, one of us may have fallen first (we’ll let you guess who), but the love was always there - quietly growing behind years of shared laughs, support, and unforgettable moments. After five years of friendship, we finally saw what had been right in front of us all along. And when it happened, it happened fast - that all consuming butterflies in your stomach kind of love. Now, we share a beautiful life together, filled with joy, laughter, and the delightful chaos of our nine dogs (yes, nine - their family too). From best friends to soulmates, our journey has been a wild and wonderful one and it’s only just beginning.
