Believe it or not, this love story started on the tee ball field. We were just a couple of kids in oversized jerseys with no clue that our teammate would someday become our forever person. Life took us in different directions for a while, but fate (and a night out at Northway Lanes) had other plans. We reconnected in college, and what started as a friendly reunion turned into something much more—slowly, quietly, and completely. Dating during COVID wasn’t exactly traditional, but it made us creative (and really good at finding fun in the simple things). Over time, we became each other’s safe place and best friend. After five years—a lot of long-distance miles—and one trip to Hawaii, one very determined Bobby, and one slightly stubborn bride-to-be made it official. (Heather eventually walked down to the spot he had perfectly picked out, with a little help from the Bride’s parents.) Our journey hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been ours. And we wouldn’t trade it for anything. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with the people who’ve been there through it all—thank you for being part of our story. Love, The Aherns
