Anabel and Drew met years ago in the hallways of Brien McMahon High School. What began as friendship became long conversations, easy laughter, and a connection that grew without pressure or expectation. Their relationship unfolded alongside homework deadlines, basketball games, four proms together, college applications, and big dreams for the future. Through graduations, seasons of long-distance, and constant change, they chose each other again and again. Their love became an anchor, rooted in patience, care, and the steady certainty that life is better when navigated together. In March of 2024 Drew proposed to Anabel in the unfurnished living room of their brand new home. It was intimate, meaningful, and completely fitting. A moment that felt both exciting and comforting, much like their love for one another. They spent the following year insisting they would “just elope,” but ultimately realized that a journey built on time, growth, and commitment deserved to be celebrated. They are deeply grateful for the friends and family who have supported them from their teenage years to this next chapter, and they can’t wait to celebrate with everyone they love.
