We met in 2018, thanks to a couple of mutual friends, Ashley and Parker. What started as casual hellos in shared circles quickly unfolded into a winding story of friendship, missed timing, and undeniable connection. We were friends, then not so much, then maybe a little more than friends. Each chapter was unpredictable, but each one mattered. Through it all, something kept pulling us back to each other. In the Fall of 2022, after years of almosts and what-ifs, we finally said yes to something real. We began dating, and everything clicked in a way it never had before. In October of 2024, we got engaged, an easy decision after so much time growing together. Now, as we look ahead to our wedding in August 2026, we carry every version of our story with us. Every twist, every laugh, and every lesson brought us to today. And we wouldn't change a thing.
