We're Engaged!

Our story began long before we ever called it love. We met in elementary school, two kids growing up in the same hallways, sharing laughs, classes, and childhood memories. What we didn’t know back then was that we were growing up right alongside the person we’d one day spend forever with. In 8th grade, something shifted. A friendship that had always felt easy and natural started to feel like something more. We started dating, unsure of what the future would bring but fully sure of how we felt in that moment. And honestly, we’ve been in love ever since. Our journey hasn’t been without its pauses. We’ve had our moments apart, seasons of growth and change. But every time life gave us space, it also gave us clarity: no matter where we went or who we became, we always found our way back to each other. We are the true definition of “what’s meant to be, will be.” We are partners for life, our story is built on years of laughter, love, learning and always choosing each other. As we step into this new chapter, we’re so thankful for everyone who’s been part of our journey. Thank you for celebrating with us as we say “yes” to forever. With all our love, Angelina & Derek
