Although all of our friends and family thought we were dating long before we were, we actually started out as best friends first. We finally gave in to the peer pressure and went on our first date on Valentine's Day of 2011 and have not missed a Valentine's Day together since! We've always moved along at our own pace, doing things when they felt right. After 10 years of dating, putting thousands of miles on our cars driving back and fourth between Tucson and Phoenix, and finally moving in together in 2018, we couldn't feel more right about spending the rest of our lives together and throwing the ultimate party in honor of that!
