Our story began long before we ever knew it would matter. We first met while working a summer job at just 15 and 16 years old, never imagining that life would one day bring us back together. Years later, when we were both in college, he reached out to me unexpectedly, unknowingly changing both of our lives forever. Our first date was simple, pizza, romance movies, and baking cookies. We were both unsure if it would lead anywhere, but of course, we were so wrong and how lucky we are because of it! Since then, we’ve grown together through some of life’s biggest milestones. We celebrated college graduations, moved into our first home together, welcomed our two dog daughters, Charley and Millie—who mean everything to us—and traveled together, creating countless memories along the way. We look back on our relationship with so much gratitude. For the timing that brought us back together, for the life we’ve built, and for a love that continues to grow every day. We are so excited to begin this next chapter surrounded by the people who have supported us every step of the way.
