We're getting married!

Some love stories being with a chance encounter-but ours started long before either of us realized it. We grew up together, knowing each other through all the years of school. We shared classrooms, hallways, and the kind of effortless familiarity that only childhood and teenage years can create. In fact, freshman year we were even "married"-thanks to a school project that made us husband and wife long before real life ever would. At the time, it was just something to laugh about...but maybe it was a hint of what was meant to be. After graduation, life took us in different directions for a while. Neither of us imagining our paths would cross again in such a meaningful way. But fate had a funny plan, our friends started dating-and one reunion turned into a spark that neither of us wanted to let go of. Five years later, that spark has grown into our favorite story. Through all the adventures, the growth, the laughter, and the everyday moments, we've built a life together that feels steady, joyful, and completely ours. Now, after five years of dating-and a lifetime of knowing each other-we're finally getting married. It turns out our freshman-year "marriage" wasn't so far off after all. We just needed a little time, a few twists of fate, and the right moment to begin our forever! Thank you for reading our love story, we enjoyed sharing it with you!
