We met during our very first week at Penn State Fayette in 2017 — two college freshmen, not knowing that the person standing beside us would one day be the love of our life. From navigating campus life to weathering a global pandemic, enduring 13 hours of long distance, and facing all the twists and turns life could throw our way, our love only grew stronger. After nearly two years apart, we finally closed the distance and moved in together in June 2022, beginning a new chapter in Columbia, Missouri. As our careers blossomed, so did our dreams. We later moved to Winston-Salem, North Carolina — a city (and state!) that captured our hearts. Here, we’ve built a life we love: we got engaged, bought our first home, and adopted our soul dog, Louie. We’ve grown up together, changed, and evolved — not apart, but side by side. And now, we can’t wait to say “I do” and begin the next chapter of our story with all of you there to celebrate with us.
