We first met on the EVHS Orchestra trip to Disneyland February 21, 2017, unaware that the friendship we began that day would one day become the foundation of a lifelong love. Though we graduated a year apart, our bond only grew stronger with time. What started as shared laughter and countless memories slowly transformed into something much deeper—something neither of us could ignore. When we finally shared our feelings toward one another, everything finally made sense. Since then, no matter the distance or the challenges life has brought, we’ve continued to grow together, learning, supporting, and loving through it all. Now, as we begin this next beautiful chapter, we’re ready to take on the world hand in hand, just as we were always meant to with all those we love by our side.
