It all began in the most unexpected place — a gas station in 2009. Just two young souls crossing paths for the first time, not realizing how significant that meeting would eventually become. Life moved on, but fate kept nudging us back toward each other. Whether on college campus, out and about, or in passing, we always seemed to find our way back into each other’s orbit. Still, life had its own plans. Over the next 10+ years, love took us down different paths, helping us grow, stretch, stumble, and evolve. There were moments of silence, seasons of change, and chapters written apart — but somehow, the story wasn’t over. Then one day, without warning, the universe opened the door again, one day over lunch — only this time, we walked through it hand in hand, stronger, wiser, and more ourselves than we’d ever been before. What started as a chance encounter so many years ago had come full circle, blooming into a love deeper and more beautiful than we ever imagined. Now, we get to write the rest of our story — together. We can’t wait to share this next chapter with you all!
