Our Love Story

The Beginning Our story begins in high school, where we shared classes but never quite connected- until junior year, when fate (and honors chemistry) brought us together. We were paired for a semester-long project where all the time spent together creating formulas and polishing presentations grew into a close friendship. That friendship lasted through the rest of high school, weaving together our friend groups, getting into trouble, and endless laughter. Sparks in Summer It wasn't until the summer before college that we noticed the spark beneath our friendship. When Camden headed off to Ohio for school, neither of us wanted to let go of what we had built. So against all sense we embarked on four years of long distance: plane trips, the endless facetimes, and counting down every day until we were reunited. Settling the Midwest In January 2020, Reilly packed up and moved to Ohio to finish her degree. Just as we celebrated being in the same city, the world paused for the pandemic. Suddenly, our long distance relationship transformed into spending every waking minute together… and it just as fun as we always imagined. Since then we have both earned our engineering degrees, settled in Cincinnati, and even welcomed a misbehaving cat into our home. 10 years later... Now as we prepared to get married we can't wait to celebrate with the family and friends that have supported us along the way. Our story started with friendship, stayed strong across 2000 miles, and brought us the life we dreamt about at 18 - proof that love, teamwork, and stubborn optimism really do work.
