“We’re getting married!”

Some love stories are written in the stars-ours started in the third grade. We first met as kids, introduced by a mutual friend, and shared a brief but memorable friendship before life took us in different directions. Nick moved away, and we lost touch through the rest of elementary school. Fast forward to eighth grade: fate (and a science class seating chart) brought us back together. We found ourselves side by side, working on a class project. A simple conversation sparked a connection, and soon we were passing notes, exchanging numbers, and sharing laughs between experiments. What started as puppy love quickly grew into something much deeper. From those early days of hallway glances and shy smiles, our relationship blossomed. We navigated high school together, cheered each other on through college and first jobs, and built a life side by side. Seventeen years, countless adventures, and one amazing son later, we’ve truly grown up together. Now, as we prepare to say “I do,” we’re so grateful for the journey that brought us here. Our son will be right by our side on our wedding day-he’s not just our greatest joy, but the heart of our little family. We’re excited to include him in our ceremony. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you-our friends and family who have cheered us on from the very beginning. Thank you for being part of our story. Here’s to love, laughter, and a lifetime of memories still to come!
