We met at a mutual friend's "end-of-freshman year" party and by the end of the night, we exchanged Snapchats (this was 2015 after all). We spent the next few months trying to convince others, and ourselves, that we were best friends. It didn't work. We started dating March 23rd, 2016 and we were inseparable the rest of high school. Long-distance came later in the form of college and the pandemic, both of which challenged and strengthened us. Now we're back in our hometown and planning the wedding that we've been dreaming about since we were sixteen. We can't wait to celebrate with the friends and family that have shaped us, and our relationship, along the way. Thank you.
