It's been a long time coming! We first met as kids while attending the same church. Growing up just 20 minutes from each other, we had mutual friends that kept us familiar during middle and high school. Our friendship grew during junior year of high school which lead to dating in senior year, August 2014. Once we made the choice to be together, the rest was history! Our journey took us to different colleges - UF vs. FSU - a house divided. Four years of long distance in college really proved our love for one another. Following graduation we thought "no more long distance!" - we were wrong. Choosing to do our master's degrees brought on another 2 years of long distance, but it only made us stronger! Finally, after six total years with visits every other weekend and constantly yearning to be together, our love grew exponentially and truly proved that long distance was worth the wait! From Orlando to Gainesville and Tallahassee, to Atlanta, and now Tampa, we could not be happier for our journey and what it taught us about love, communication, and growth together. The distance between us through the years built a foundation that is what our relationship stands on today. We always said "no matter where" to remind ourselves we are always together, no matter where we were physically. "No matter where" stands true, but now we are here. Together, forever!
