Though we always knew of each other from afar, our paths never truly crossed until we decided to collaborate on a work partnership. What started as a professional connection quickly revealed something deeper -- a spark that neither of us could quite ignore. At first, we kept things professional (or at least we tried to). But soon, casual check-ins, turned into daily visits, and before long, those "quick stops" at Breanna's work place were less about business and more about just being near each other. From partnership to friendship, and then something undeniably more, our story grew naturally -- built on shared respect, faith, laughter, and a connection that only strengthened with time. A little over a year later, surrounded by our closest friends and family at the Stone residence, we took the next step into our favorite chapter yet -- the proposal on October 18, 2025. It was intimate, heartfelt, and perfectly us. Now, we can't wait to celebrate this next adventure: forever together.
