It began in September 2016 - I was a senior at Penn State, and Aubrey was working in New York at the Post Office. What started as weekend visits quickly turned into daily drives and train rides just to be near each other. We’d count down the hours until we were together again, never knowing those moments would become the foundation of a lifetime love story. After graduation, I moved back to New York, and our lives began to intertwine even more deeply growing in love, ambition, and purpose. In 2018, we took a leap and moved to New Jersey to build the kind of life we had only dreamed about. There, we became dog parents - first to Crenshaw, whose memory lives in our hearts, and later to Rylo, who fills our days with joy. Together, we’ve traveled across states and countries, feeding our shared love for culture, exploration, and creating memories that feel like home. Over the last nine years, we’ve celebrated birthdays, attended weddings, advanced careers, moved into new homes, and built traditions that are uniquely ours - from cozy Christmas mornings to spontaneous date nights that still make us feel like those two young souls in love back in 2016. Then, on January 19, 2024, Aubrey proposed in front of our closest family and friends in a moment that felt straight out of a dream - intimate, emotional, and filled with the love we’ve nurtured for nearly a decade. Now, as we plan our wedding in Mexico City on November 8, 2026, we can’t wait to step into forever, surrounded by the people who have witnessed our journey and begin our next chapter as husband and wife.
