It all started in 7th grade — two kids who shared the same hallways, inside jokes, and eventually, a quiet crush that turned into something special. Somewhere between the awkward school dances, hallway hellos, and passing notes in class, two middle schoolers named Amaya and Andrew became best friends… and then, eventually, something a little more. Over the years, that friendship turned into a love that’s grown right alongside us — through high school, college, starting careers, beach walks, and countless road trips to our favorite place: the Oregon coast. From bonfires and sunsets to inside jokes and rainy day adventures, we’ve spent the last nine years building a life that feels easy, silly, and full of love. So on June 19th, 2026, we’ll be saying “I do” in Seaside, Oregon — the place that’s always felt like home to us. The same coast where we’ve spent so many of our favorite days will now be the backdrop for our favorite one yet. We can’t wait to celebrate with our favorite people, our toes in the sand, and the ocean as our witness — proof that sometimes, the middle school crush really does work out.
