While Wills and Cassie’s relationship officially began in January 2021, their story started slowly and almost quietly in 2019. It all began at Cassie’s 21st birthday party, where a simple conversation sparked a connection, leaving Cassie thinking she may have just met the person she wanted to be with for life. Over the years, their friendship blossomed, guided by what some call an “invisible string.” By the spring of their senior year at Florida State University, that string had finally brought them together, just as everything else in life felt ready to fall into place. Even with big decisions on the horizon—careers, where to live, what’s next—their bond remained steady, calm, and true. They have been side by side ever since. Their friends often laugh at how opposite they seem. Cassie grew up in small-town Lakeland, full of energy, theatrics, and an expressive, heartfelt nature. Wills, on the other hand, comes from a big Tampa family, calm, collected, and measured. Yet their differences fit perfectly, filling each other’s cups and making them an undeniable pair. Now, surrounded by friends and family from Tampa, Lakeland, and across the globe, they can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter of their journey together as husband and wife.
