We first met in sixth grade English class, but back then, we didn’t think much of it—just two classmates in a room full of students. It wasn’t until eighth grade that our paths truly crossed again through mutual friends. After months of walking Brianna to class, sitting together at lunch Kadin built up the courage to ask Brianna out during our field trip to Hawaiian Falls. On May 16, 2016, amidst the laughter and water splashes of the lazy river, he nervously asked her to be his girlfriend. To his relief, she said yes. But life had other plans. Just three weeks later, Kadin’s family moved to Seattle. Despite the distance, we didn’t let go. We made it work—he visited Texas for special events like homecoming, and we kept our connection strong through late-night calls, sharing every important and unimportant moments from afar. When our sophomore year of high school arrived, Kadin finally moved back to Texas, and we picked up right where we left off. No more distance, just love. Since then, we've stayed together, growing up and growing stronger as a couple, proving that no matter the challenges, our bond could never be broken. We’re ready to take on the rest of our lives together—just like we always have, side by side—and we’re so excited to be able to share our love with you all!
