It's funny how life works sometimes. Charlie and I grew up in the same neighborhood our entire lives, yet neither of us realized that the love of our life was living just around the corner. Looking back, the red string theory feels especially fitting for our story. Maybe we were always connected, simply waiting for the right moment to find each other. That moment came when we met at a mutual friend's house in the neighborhood. We started talking one evening, and somehow, we never stopped. What began as a friendship quickly turned into something so much more. Through countless conversations, endless laughter, video game nights, adventures, and memories we'll cherish forever, we fell in love and built the life we share today. Sometimes we can't help but smile thinking about how close we were all those years without knowing it. After a lifetime of living in the same neighborhood, our paths finally crossed exactly when they were meant to. Now, we get to spend forever together, and we couldn't be more excited to celebrate this next chapter with all of you.
