We met most ordinarily- two teenagers rushing from class to class, passing notes, sharing smiles, and finding ways to be near each other. What we didn't know then was that those simple moments were the beginning of something extraordinary. In high school, we were inseparable. From football games, baseball games, and long phone calls, to long drives with the music turned up way too loud, we grew up together-learning, laughing, and slowly falling in love. We became each other's safe place, cheering each other on through every test, game, and milestone. After graduation, life changed, but our love didn't. Through new seasons and all of the uncertainty that comes with becoming adults, we always chose each other. We supported each other's dreams, celebrated each other's wins, and held onto the belief that what we had was rare and worth fighting for. Five years later, our story has only grown deeper. What started as a high school crush has become a lifelong bond- built on friendship, trust, faith, and a love that feels like home. Now, surrounded by the people who watched our story unfold from the beginning, we are ready to start the next chapter: forever.
